Pakistan Launches Precision Retaliatory Airstrikes on 10 Militant Launchpads Inside Afghanistan Following Drone Incursions
Islamabad: Cross-border aggression was so severe that Pakistan has taken strong action against it, using the inherent right of self-defense, Pakistan has launched precise airstrikes and drone attacks on 10 critical sites in Afghanistan which were used for launching hostile drones and rockets against Pakistan.
The military operation was officially confirmed by Federal Information Minister Attaullah Tarar who said the retaliatory action by Pakistan would be “precise, proportional and strictly limited in scope.
Statement on Deliberate Provocation and Defending Sovereignty
In the official statement made through social media platform X, Attaullah Tarar highlighted that the infiltration of drones from Afghan soil was a deliberate and illegal act of hostility, which cannot and will not be tolerated. The infiltration platforms were able to be tracked and neutralized by sophisticated air defense systems, which effectively neutralized the attack, Pakistani security forces said.
The Federal Minister has restated Islamabad’s serious concerns about the safe havens and supply chains of the terrorists within Afghanistan for the fifth time. The Afghan regime’s recent provocation has forced the Afghan people to respond directly to the militant networks instead of taking any measure that can be verified.

The decisionary counter-action comes after a series of air security breaches, such as the interception and shooting down of eight drones from enemy countries at the Torkham and Kohat mountain regions. The Pakistani state has once again reminded the interim government of Afghanistan to immediately put an end to all activities against Pakistan, to honour its international commitments and to take concrete and verifiable steps against Pakistani adversaries who are operating from their territory. Meanwhile, the officials argued that Pakistan will do everything it can to ensure the protection of its national territory and the safety of its people.
