by | Mar 2, 2026

As of 1500 hours on March 2, 2026, the Pakistan Armed Forces have significantly intensified Operation Ghazab-lil-Haq (Righteous Fury), delivering a “crushing and humiliating” blow to the Afghan Taliban regime following their unprovoked cross-border aggression. Information Minister Attaullah Tarar and senior security sources have released consolidated figures confirming the near-total collapse of Taliban frontline defenses.

Strategic Losses as of March 2

The scale of the Taliban’s tactical devastation has reached historic proportions over the last 96 hours of high-intensity combat:

Metric Status (as of 1500 hrs, March 2)
Taliban Personnel Killed 435 confirmed dead
Taliban Personnel Injured 630+
Checkposts Destroyed 188
Checkposts Captured 31 (Pakistani flag hoisted at strategic heights)
Heavy Hardware Destroyed 188 units (Tanks, Armoured Vehicles, Artillery guns)
Air Strike Locations 51 strategic sites targeted across Afghanistan

Frontline Breakthroughs and “Open War”

Security sources confirmed that Pakistani ground troops have successfully crossed the border in the North Waziristan sector, seizing control of key Taliban installations. In the Khost province, a massive ammunition depot belonging to the Taliban-Khawarij nexus was “obliterated” by precision fire. Additional successful strikes were reported in the Noshki, Ghulam Khan, and Qila Saifullah sectors, where infiltration attempts were thwarted with “total force.”

Humanitarian and Domestic Measures

In response to the “Open War” declaration, the government has prioritized civilian safety:

  • School Closures: Over 126 educational institutions have been closed in the border districts of North Waziristan (33), Mohmand (54), and Bajaur (39) until further notice.

  • Urban High Alert: Karachi Police have issued a comprehensive public safety advisory, placing the metropolitan area on high alert due to increased military tensions.

  • Drone Bans: The AJK government and local administrations in KP have imposed an immediate 30-day ban on all private drone flying.

Diplomatic Stasis and International Pressure

While the Afghan Taliban rulers have expressed a “willingness to negotiate” following the devastating air strikes on Kabul and Kandahar, Islamabad remains firm on its “zero tolerance” policy. Global powers, including China, Russia, and Iran, have called for an immediate ceasefire and offered mediation; however, Pakistan maintains that the operation will continue “unabated” until the TTP (Fitna-al-Khawarij) sanctuaries are fully eliminated.
