Security sources say the army attacked the Afghan Taliban and Fitna al-Khawarij in North and South Waziristan, destroying posts.
The armed forces carried out successful actions against the Afghan Taliban and Fitna al-Khawarij along the Pakistan-Afghanistan border in North and South Waziristan on Saturday, destroying several of their posts and forcing the enemy to abandon their positions and flee.
Security sources said several Afghan Taliban terrorists were killed, while the remaining ones retreated and fled.
“The Afghan Taliban forces have suffered heavy losses due to the effective and powerful response of the Pakistani army,” they added.
They said Operation Ghazab Lil Haq was still ongoing and would continue until its objectives were achieved.

Read: Op Ghazab Lil Haq will continue until Kabul gives “credible guarantees and concrete measures” to stop terrorist support: state media
“Operation Ghazab Lil Haq” was launched late on February 26 after fresh clashes along the Pakistan-Afghanistan border, when Afghan Taliban forces fired at multiple locations, prompting swift military retaliation.
Pakistan has repeatedly accused Afghanistan of failing to act against terrorist groups responsible for attacks inside the country, a charge rejected by the Afghan Taliban government.
The recent fighting has affected several Afghan provinces and represents the worst violence since clashes in October that left more than 70 dead on both sides. Land border crossings between the two countries have largely remained closed since then.
On Friday, Information Minister Attaullah Tarar said in a post on X that 527 Afghan Taliban operatives had been killed and more than 755 wounded during the ongoing operation.
He added that 237 checkpoints were destroyed and another 38 captured by Pakistani security forces, while 205 tanks, armored vehicles and artillery guns were also destroyed.

Earlier this week, Chief of Defense Forces and Chief of Army Staff Syed Asim Munir said that all necessary measures would be taken to neutralize the threat of terrorism emanating from across the border.
He said the use of Afghan soil for acts of terrorism was unacceptable and that lasting peace between the two countries would only be possible if the Afghan Taliban renounced their support for terrorism and militant organizations.
Security officials said Operation Ghazab Lil Haq against terrorist networks in Afghanistan would continue until credible assurances were provided that terrorism would no longer receive support from across the border.
Relations between Pakistan and the Afghan Taliban have been at their lowest level since the group returned to power in Afghanistan four years ago. Islamabad has long maintained that TTP leaders operate from Afghan territory, a claim repeatedly denied by Kabul.
Tensions also rose after a series of explosions in Kabul on October 9 last year. Taliban forces subsequently attacked areas along the border with Pakistan, prompting Islamabad to respond with cross-border bombings.
The exchanges caused casualties and damage to infrastructure on both sides and led to the suspension of trade after border crossings were closed on October 12, 2025.
