The Pakistan Army carried out an operation in the Arandu and Kurram sectors, destroying “important posts and centres” of the Afghan Taliban, reports quoted security sources.

 

Media reports have said that the Taliban and Fitna al Khawarij were forced to leave their positions. The armed forces targeted only military installations and hideouts.

 

In Mohmand, suspected militants carried out a late-night grenade and gun attack on a police post near Atta Bazaar in the Khwezai area. Police sources said that attackers hurled a hand grenade and opened fire on the Muharrar post late Sunday night.

 

Police personnel returned fire, after which the attackers fled under cover of darkness. Security in the district has been increased, and all police posts are on high alert.

 

Earlier in Mohmand, mortar shells were reportedly fired from across the border in Afghanistan. Police officials said two shells landed at a distance from a Frontier Corps post and the Atam Kalay police checkpost. The incident was reported to Baizai police station around 3:10am on Monday. No casualties or injuries were reported.

 

Pakistan has intensified cross-border strikes under Operation Ghazab lil-Haq, which authorities say targets militant networks operating from Afghan territory. 

 

Islamabad has repeatedly urged the Taliban administration in Kabul to act against groups such as the Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan, saying Taliban use safe havens across the border to launch attacks on Pakistani security forces and civilians.
