In a major expansion of its counter-terrorism air campaign, the Pakistan Armed Forces conducted high-precision airstrikes on the night of March 16, targeting military installations within the Afghan Taliban regime that serve as the primary “support infrastructure” for regional terror proxies.
The Ministry of Information and Broadcasting (MoIB) has released combat footage of all six strikes, providing undeniable visual evidence of secondary detonations that confirm the destruction of large-scale ammunition depots and technical logistics hubs.
Operational Summary: Precision Strikes in Kabul & Nangarhar
The overnight operations were designed to degrade the specialized capabilities of Fitna-al-Khawarij and Fitna-al-Hindustan, which Islamabad asserts are nurtured by the Afghan regime.
-
Kabul Sector: Two primary military installations were neutralized. Secondary explosions caught on film indicate that high-capacity ammunition storage and technical support infrastructure were effectively obliterated.
-
Nangarhar Sector: Four distinct military sites were targeted and destroyed. These locations served as logistical nodes and training camps for cross-border terror operations.

Professional Execution: The military reiterated that these strikes were “precise, deliberate, and professional,” focusing exclusively on assets facilitating hostile activity against Pakistan.

The Information Warfare Front
To ensure transparency and counter “synthetic propaganda,” the government has promptly released footage of all six strikes.
