High-resolution satellite imagery provided by Airbus and verified by The New York Times has confirmed the successful destruction of key military infrastructure and hardware at Bagram Airbase following a precision strike by the Pakistan Air Force (PAF). The operation, conducted at dawn on Sunday, March 1, 2026, marks the most significant escalation in Operation Ghazab-lil-Haq (Righteous Fury) since its launch on February 26.

Precision Strike at the Heart of Taliban Power
The imagery reveals that the PAF’s surgical strikes reduced multiple structures to debris at the former U.S. mega-base north of Kabul. Strategic losses for the Afghan Taliban include:
-
Aircraft: Destruction of UH-60 Black Hawk helicopters, a C-130 Hercules transport plane, and a Tucano aircraft.
-
Infrastructure: Direct hits on at least one major aircraft hangar and two large warehouses used for suicide drone operations.
-
Ordnance: Destruction of leftover U.S. munitions, including JDAMs (Joint Direct Attack Munitions), and a localized ammunition depot.
A Response to “Unprovoked Aggression”
The strike on Bagram was authorized following the Afghan Taliban’s unprovoked shelling of Pakistani border positions on February 26. To date, Pakistan has conducted over 50 precision airstrikes targeting approximately 180 Taliban security posts and logistics hubs. Islamabad has repeatedly stated that these locations were being utilized to harbor Fitna-al-Khawarij (TTP) militants responsible for the recent surge in domestic terrorism.

Strategic Impact: “Open War”
While the Taliban’s Ministry of Defense initially claimed to have “thwarted” the attack using anti-aircraft systems, the Airbus satellite evidence confirms that Pakistani jets successfully bypassed the base’s defenses. Security analysts note that by targeting Bagram—the largest military installation in Afghanistan—Pakistan has sent a clear message regarding its “zero tolerance” policy for cross-border terrorism.
As of March 3, 2026, the Pakistan Armed Forces remain in “Open War” status with the Taliban regime, with operations continuing to dismantle terrorist sanctuaries across Nangarhar, Paktika, and Parwan provinces.
