Fresh details emerging from Pakistan’s recent precision strikes inside Afghanistan reveal the identities and origins of militants killed across multiple entrenched camps, underscoring the transnational footprint of the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan network.

Paktika Province: Camp Al-Jehad, District Barmal

In Paktika Province, specifically in Barmal district, Camp Al-Jehad served as a structured operational hub. Among those killed were 22 identified TTP commanders, most of them Pakistani nationals hailing from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Balochistan.

The deceased included militants from Swat, North Waziristan, Dir, Bannu, and multiple districts of Balochistan. Two Afghan nationals were also listed among the casualties, one from Ghazni and another from Panjshir, indicating cross-border recruitment and logistical overlap.

Security sources say the concentration of Pakistani nationals inside the Barmal facility demonstrates how Afghan territory has functioned as an operational rear base rather than merely a transient refuge.

Nangarhar Province: Khogyani, Ghani Khel, and Behsud

Additional camps in Nangarhar Province districts of Khogyani, Ghani Khel, and Behsud were also targeted.

Eleven TTP-linked commanders were eliminated at these locations. The list again reflected geographic diversity, including militants from Swat, North Waziristan, Bahawalpur, DG Khan, Bannu, and Kandahar.

Security analysts interpret this spread as evidence of coordinated relocation strategies, with fighters positioned along eastern Afghan belts to facilitate infiltration into Pakistan’s tribal and southern districts.

Khost Border Belt: Haqqani-Controlled Zones

In the border areas of Khost Province, described by officials as zones historically influenced by the Haqqani network, nine additional TTP commanders were killed.

These individuals were linked to districts in Swat, Khyber, Mianwali, North Waziristan, Dir Upper, and Kapisa. The geographical dispersion highlights the network’s layered architecture, combining local familiarity with cross-border sanctuary depth.

Pattern Emerging

The identities collectively reveal three operational realities:

Afghan soil hosted structured, district-specific camps with identifiable command chains.

The majority of militants killed were Pakistani nationals operating from Afghan territory.

Recruitment and logistical facilitation extended across provincial and national lines.

The precision strikes, officials argue, were not symbolic actions but targeted dismantling of defined nodes within a sanctuary ecosystem.

By publicly identifying names and hometowns, authorities appear to be signaling both accountability and deterrence, asserting that geographic distance no longer guarantees operational immunity.
