Information Minister Attaullah Tarar is addressing a press conference on the recent clashes with what he said was the "illegitimate" Afghan Taliban regime.

Pakistani forces targeted key military installations of the Afghan Taliban regime in Kabul, Kandahar, and Paktia through effective airstrikes, early on Friday. The military spokesperson said the ongoing ‘Operation Ghazab Lil Haq’ against the Afghan Taliban was producing the desired results and continued successfully.

He said Pakistan had “effectively repulsed” Afghan Taliban insurgents at 53 locations along the border, inflicting heavy losses while exercising restraint to avoid civilian harm. 

Addressing a press conference shortly after the military spokesperson's address, the information minister launched a broadside at the Afghan Taliban regime and slammed it for its action within and beyond Afghanistan.
