Pakistan Strikes Taliban Strongholds

Pakistan’s security forces launched a massive cross-border operation targeting militant strongholds along the Afghanistan frontier, killing 54 fighters in a decisive blow to Jamaat-ul-Ahrar and the Pakistani Taliban. The strikes followed a deadly attack on paramilitary Rangers in Karachi, which the group claimed responsibility for, underscoring a surge in militant violence. Raids in Bajaur eliminated a key Khwarji commander and three allies, while precision strikes in Afghan provinces destroyed camps and seized weapons. Pakistan insists the operation is vital to protect its citizens, blaming Afghanistan’s government for harboring militants — a claim Kabul denies — as part of an ongoing campaign against terror groups that have intensified attacks across the region.
