Reports indicate that Kharchar Fort, a key base for the Khawarij terrorist network, was also destroyed, along with the Jandosar post, as Pakistan’s precision fire dismantled hostile infrastructure.
Officials emphasized that Pakistan’s response remains targeted and restrained, focusing only on Afghan posts aiding external militant groups. The army’s operations, they added, are designed to protect Pakistan’s sovereignty while avoiding civilian harm.
Pakistan reiterated that it would not tolerate cross-border aggression and would continue acting decisively against all militant threats emanating from Afghan territory.
