Security officials stated that the operations were conducted in response to what they described as continuous cross-border militancy and security threats originating from Afghan soil.<\/p>\n<p>Zabihullah Mujahid, spokesperson for the Afghan government, officially announced a declaration of war against Pakistan, calling the Pakistani strikes an act of aggression against Afghan provinces. In his statement, he said Afghanistan would respond with full force in retaliation.<\/p>\n<p>Following the announcement, the Government of Pakistan confirmed the launch of a military campaign titled \u201cOperation Ghazab Lil Haq.\u201d Officials described the operation as a defensive measure aimed at safeguarding national sovereignty and countering hostile actions.<\/p>\n<p>Reports from border regions indicate heavy exchanges of fire between the two sides. Artillery units, mortars, and quadcopter drones are reportedly being used as fighting intensifies along multiple sectors of the border. Residents in nearby areas have reported loud explosions and heightened military movement.<\/p>\n<p><em>In Oct 2025, Pakistan carried out precision strikes exclusively targeting hideouts of Afghan Taliban and Kharijites in Kandahar and Kabul. According to security sources, the strikes in Kandahar targeted Taliban Battalion Headquarters No. 4 and No. 8, as well as Border Brigade No. 5. These targets were carefully selected, located away from civilian areas, and successfully destroyed.<\/em><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"ncHYHYDU9f\"><p><a href=\"https:\/\/pakistanintheworld.pk\/live\/pakistan-in-the-world-january-2026\/\">Pakistan in the World \u2013 January 2026<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><iframe class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; clip: rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px);\" title=\"&#8220;Pakistan in the World \u2013 January 2026&#8221; &#8212; Pakistan In the World\" src=\"https:\/\/pakistanintheworld.pk\/live\/pakistan-in-the-world-january-2026\/embed\/#?secret=SATCKkAMn4#?secret=ncHYHYDU9f\" data-secret=\"ncHYHYDU9f\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Update on the situation at the Pakistan Afghanistan border as of 0340 hrs ISLAMABAD : Friday February 27 \u2013 In response to unprovoked Afghan attacks, Pakistani counter strikes have been authorised and several iterations of these strikes have been conducted.
