Pakistan’s Information Minister Attaullah Tarar announced that 415 Afghan Taliban members were killed in military strikes across Afghanistan. According to his post on social media platform X, the attacks also left 580 people injured. The Pakistani military claimed to have destroyed 182 checkpoints and captured 31 others, along with 85 tanks, armed vehicles, and guns. The operations reportedly included airstrikes at 41 locations nationwide, with the Kharchar checkpoint near the Kurram sector among those destroyed.

Pakistan stated that the strikes were a strong and effective retaliatory campaign against what it described as unprovoked attacks by Afghan Taliban forces along the border. The announcement marks a significant escalation in cross-border hostilities between the two neighboring countries.

The scale of the operation and the high casualty figures suggest a deepening conflict dynamic along the Pakistan-Afghanistan frontier, though independent verification of the claims was not mentioned in the report.
