The Pakistan Armed Forces have achieved a “historic and decisive” breakthrough in Operation Ghazab-lil-Haqq (Righteous Fury), effectively crippling the Afghan Taliban’s military command structure following their unprovoked aggression along the Durand Line. As of Saturday morning, February 28, 2026, Federal Information Minister Attaullah Tarar and senior security sources have confirmed that the “master proxy” forces in Afghanistan have suffered a humiliating blow, with Pakistani flags now flying over several former Taliban strongholds.

Strategic Victories: Neutralizing Command & Control
The Pakistan Air Force (PAF) and ground divisions have systematically “reduced to rubble” high-value targets deep within Afghan territory. Key infrastructure destroyed includes two Brigade Headquarters in Kabul and a Corps Headquarters in Kandahar, alongside major ammunition and logistics depots.
In the Qila Saifullah Sector, attempts at infiltration were crushed as the Pakistan Army leveled the Rahim and Ala Jirga staging grounds. Furthermore, precision artillery fire effectively neutralized the Shaga post and other border installations in the Azam Warsak and Ghulam Khan regions. Reports indicate that the Pakistan Army now holds 18 strategic posts inside Afghan territory, specifically targeting high-altitude positions opposite South Waziristan to permanently sever “Khawarij” incursion routes.
Technological Superiority and “White Flags” of Surrender
The Taliban’s attempt to introduce rudimentary drone warfare was met with a sophisticated technological shield. All quadcopters launched toward Abbottabad, Nowshera, and Swabi were intercepted and destroyed by Pakistani anti-drone systems. In a desperate act of retreat, Taliban forces targeted civilian populations in Bajaur, injuring five civilians; Pakistan responded with “total force” to silence the offending batteries.
Following the destruction of key posts in Khost, security sources report that Afghan Taliban personnel were seen hoisting white flags of surrender at multiple locations, signaling a total breakdown in morale against Pakistan’s superior firepower.

“Our Cup of Patience Has Overflowed”
Reiterating the government’s stance, Defense Minister Khawaja Asif stated that the declaration of “Open War” marks the end of failed diplomacy. The Ministry of Information reaffirmed that Operation Ghazab-lil-Haqq will continue without pause until the total neutralization of TTP hideouts is achieved and the Durand Line is fully secured.
