Pakistan has carried out intelligence-based strikes on seven terrorist camps and hideouts inside Afghanistan in response to a recent wave of suicide attacks, according to the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting.
In an official statement, the ministry said recent attacks in Islamabad’s Imam Bargah, Bajaur, and Bannu were orchestrated by terrorist leadership and facilitators operating from Afghan territory. The statement added that responsibility for these attacks was claimed by Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan, referred to by the state as Fitna al-Khwarij, and its allied networks based in Afghanistan.
Authorities said Pakistan possesses concrete evidence linking the attacks to instructions issued by leadership elements present across the border.
The government said it had repeatedly urged the Afghan interim administration to take verifiable action against terrorist organizations and proxy elements using Afghan soil against Pakistan. However, Islamabad maintains that Kabul failed to undertake effective measures to dismantle these networks.
Citing the need to protect its citizens, Pakistan conducted what it described as precise, intelligence-driven strikes against seven camps and operational sites linked to anti-Pakistan militant activity.
The Ministry emphasized that while Pakistan remains committed to regional peace and stability, the safety and security of its people remain its foremost priority.
Islamabad has again called on the Afghan interim government to fulfill its responsibilities and prevent its territory from being used for terrorism against Pakistan. The statement also urged the international community to press the Afghan Taliban to uphold their commitments under the Doha Agreement to ensure regional and global security.
