According to the DG ISPR, on the night of February 21 and 22, Pakistani armed forces targeted hideouts of militants near the Pakistan-Afghanistan border. He alleged that the Afghan Taliban regime responded with what he described as a “so-called action,” initiating cross-border fire.

Lt Gen Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry stated that during Operation Ghazab ul Haq, 274 Taliban regime personnel and militants were killed, while more than 400 were injured. He further claimed that over 74 Taliban posts were completely destroyed, 18 border posts are now under Pakistani control, and approximately 150 tanks and armored vehicles were destroyed.
