Pakistan’s military conducted an intelligence-driven ground operation along its border with Afghanistan on Sunday, then followed up with what officials described as “calibrated strikes” against militant hideouts, resulting in the deaths of 29 fighters, according to a Monday report from the Associated Press citing government officials.
Information Minister Attaullah Tarar announced the operation on the social media platform X, stating it was launched in direct response to a series of militant attacks that had taken place across the country.
Reuters, which reported on the AP account, noted it was unable to independently confirm the details at the time of publication.
