Pakistan has escalated its retaliatory campaign against the Afghan Taliban regime by striking the strategically important Bagram Airbase in Afghanistan. Officials described the move as a direct response to what they called continued aggression from across the border. According to initial reports, the Pakistan Air Force carried out precision air operations targeting key military infrastructure. The strike marks one of the most significant actions since the launch of Operation Ghazab-lil-Haq.
Security sources stated that the air operation destroyed one aircraft hangar and two major warehouses at the airbase, causing substantial structural damage. Officials added that follow-up strikes and defensive measures remain active as tensions persist along the frontier. The government maintains that the campaign aims to neutralize hostile capabilities threatening national security. Authorities also stressed that operations are focused on military assets rather than civilian areas.
