Pakistan Carries Out Targeted Operations Against Militant Hideouts Near Afghan Border

Pakistan carried out precise and calibrated strikes along border areas with Afghanistan, targeting hideouts and safe havens of individuals described as masterminds and planners belonging to Fitna al Khwarij, following a series of recent terrorist incidents in the country.

According to security sources, the strikes came in the aftermath of several attacks, including the assault on a Federal Constabulary post in Musa Darra on 9 June 2026, vehicle-borne suicide attacks on a military post in North Waziristan on 2 June 2026, and an attack on a police station in Bannu on 9 May 2026.

Officials said the operation was based on credible intelligence and involved selective and precise targeting of militant camps and hideouts. Four targets were reportedly destroyed, including a training centre, a hideout, an ammunition cache, and Marakiz linked to commanders identified as Aleem Khan Khushali and Akhtar Muhammad Jani Khel.
