NORTH WAZIRISTAN | MOHMAND — As part of the ongoing Operation Ghazab-lil-Haq, the Pakistan Army has successfully neutralized a series of high-threat escalations along the Pak-Afghan border. In a coordinated response to cross-border provocations, security forces foiled a major infiltration attempt in North Waziristan and utilized heavy artillery to dismantle militant infrastructure in the Mohmand sector.
The operations signify a “zero-tolerance” posture toward the movement of terror proxies and the misuse of border-adjacent facilities by hostile forces.
Infiltration Foiled: North Waziristan Sector
In a timely intelligence-based action, Pakistan Army troops intercepted a large-scale infiltration attempt by militants attempting to cross into Pakistani territory.
-
Effective Engagement: The security forces engaged the group with high-volume fire, forcing the infiltrators to retreat across the border.

Vigilance: Surveillance along the border fence has been doubled to ensure that the remnants of the intercepted group do not attempt a secondary breach.

Strategic Rationale: Denying Safe Havens
The General Headquarters (GHQ) reiterated that the targeting of former military infrastructure and border posts is a direct response to the “active harboring” of terror groups like Fitna-al-Khawarij.
-
Artillery Precision: The use of heavy artillery in Mohmand serves as a warning against the militarization of civilian or abandoned international infrastructure near Pakistan’s sovereign borders.
-
Territorial Integrity: Operation Ghazab-lil-Haq remains committed to degrading the operational capacity of any group attempting to wage war against Pakistan from Afghan soil.
