Pakistan Claims 415 Taliban Killed as Fighting Reaches Kabul and Bagram

Islamabad says it is targeting TTP and IS‑K sanctuaries, a claim Kabul rejects.

Overview

  • Pakistan’s information minister reported 415 Afghan Taliban killed and over 580 injured under Operation Ghazab‑Lil‑Haq, along with 182 posts destroyed, 31 captured and 46 sites hit by airstrikes.
  • Afghan authorities said air defenses engaged Pakistani aircraft over Kabul and that an attempted strike on Bagram Air Base before dawn Sunday was repelled.
  • Unnamed Pakistani security sources told media that roughly 10 strikes hit targets across Afghanistan, including near Kabul airport, Bagram, Kandahar, Nangarhar, Khost and Paktia.
  • Afghan officials reported counterattacks along the frontier and alleged civilian casualties from Pakistani drones and mortars, citing at least 52 dead and 66 wounded.
  • Pakistan’s defense minister has described the confrontation as “open war,” and the UN and several governments have urged restraint as both sides’ battlefield claims remain unverified.
