The Taliban Ministry of Defence has released a damage assessment report detailing extensive destruction at Bagram Air Base following a Pakistani Air Force strike.

According to the report, the attack resulted in the destruction of multiple Black Hawk helicopters, a Hercules cargo aircraft, a Tucano aircraft, armored vehicles and other key military equipment. The document described the strike as one of the most significant losses of military assets in recent years.

Sources familiar with the matter said the Pakistani strike was intense and caused visible damage to military installations at the base, long considered a strategic aviation hub.

The disclosure comes amid escalating cross-border hostilities between Pakistan and the Tehreek-e-Taliban Afghanistan (TTA). In its latest operational update issued at 2200 hours on 2 March, Pakistani security forces reported the destruction of six additional forward TTA posts through heavy weapons fire across multiple sectors along the Pak–Afghan frontier.

Officials said a total of 10 air strikes were conducted in depth locations targeting militant infrastructure and operational nodes. Confirmed figures released by Pakistani authorities place overall TTA losses at 458 killed and over 700 injured since the start of Operation Ghazab Lil Haqq. Security forces have also destroyed 202 militant posts and captured 33, while 196 tanks, armored personnel carriers and vehicles have reportedly been neutralized. A total of 53 locations have been targeted through aerial operations so far.

Military sources further stated that in several sectors, TTA elements have raised white flags at their positions, signaling de-escalation, while Pakistan maintains control of key forward areas including the 32 square kilometer Ghudwana enclave in the Zhob sector.

The developments indicate sustained operational momentum by Pakistani forces as the conflict along the western frontier enters a more decisive phase.
