Operation Ghazab Lil Haq will continue until the designated objectives are fully achieved, security sources say.
Security forces foiled another infiltration attempt by terrorists near Sadaq village in North Waziristan as part of the ongoing Operation Ghazab Lil Haq, security sources said on Friday.
According to security sources, militants identified as members of the Afghan Taliban and “Fitna al-Khawarij” attempted to cross into Pakistani territory near the village of Sadaq. However, Pakistani army troops responded quickly and effectively, preventing infiltration.
The sources said timely action by security forces forced the militants to retreat after what they described as an “unprovoked aggression”, adding that the attackers faced stiff resistance on multiple fronts.
They added that security forces remain vigilant and committed to preventing cross-border infiltration and ensuring stability in the region.

Meanwhile, Pakistan’s armed forces carried out successful airstrikes during the night of March 12-13, targeting terrorist hideouts and facilities across the border in Afghanistan.
Security sources said the strikes effectively destroyed the Tarawo terrorist camp in Kandahar. Another facility, the Sherinaw camp in Afghanistan’s Paktia province, was also attacked during the operation.
Security officials said a video of the successful airstrikes was also released.
They added that operations under Operation Ghazab Lil Haq will continue until the designated objectives are fully achieved, and security forces will remain vigilant against cross-border militant activity.
During the conflict between Pakistan and Afghanistan, Pakistan named the last military action. Operation Ghazab Lil Haq. The phrase is understood to mean “Anger for the truth” or “Rage for the sake of justice,” reflecting what officials describe as a forceful response to the assault.
On Wednesday, at least 641 Afghan Taliban operatives were killed and more than 855 wounded during the ongoing Operation Ghazab lil Haq, launched in response to what Islamabad described as “unprovoked action” from across the Afghan border, Information Minister Attaullah Tarar said.
The operation was launched last month following fresh clashes along the Pakistan-Afghanistan border, after Afghan Taliban forces fired at multiple locations, prompting swift military retaliation by Pakistan.
In an update shared on his official X account, Tarar said security forces had inflicted heavy losses on terrorist positions across the border during the operation.
According to the minister, 243 checkpoints used by the Afghan Taliban have so far been destroyed, while another 42 were captured and later destroyed by Pakistani forces.
A total of 219 tanks, armored vehicles and artillery guns were destroyed during the course of the operation, Tarar added.
He further claimed that Pakistani forces carried out air operations targeting multiple terrorist sites across Afghanistan.
“Sixty-five locations across Afghanistan were effectively attacked from the air,” Tarar said.
