Eyewitnesses and military sources report that Afghan forces abandoned posts, leaving behind equipment and casualties, while Pakistani troops consolidated control. Operations continued throughout the night, with remaining positions targeted using heavy weaponry.
In addition to border posts, security sources confirm successful strikes on Taliban camps, including the Durrani and Manujba Camp-2, resulting in dozens of casualties and complete destruction of the facilities.
This crushing response shows Pakistan’s determination to neutralize cross-border threats and assert control along a volatile frontier.
