In response to unprovoked aggression from across the Afghan border, the Pakistan Army has successfully taken control of 19 Afghan posts, security sources confirmed on Saturday.
According to reports, Pakistani forces launched a decisive and powerful counter-offensive after Afghan troops carried out provocative attacks along the frontier, inflicting heavy damage and forcing Afghan units to retreat.
Security officials revealed that Pakistan’s retaliatory strikes were highly precise and effective, compelling Afghanistan to request a halt in hostilities, a proposal that Pakistan firmly rejected.
Visual footage from the Leuband area of Qila Abdullah sector shows an Afghan post being destroyed by targeted artillery fire, with the position completely obliterated in the ensuing bombardment.
Since last night, Pakistani forces have been successfully targeting Afghan positions with heavy weaponry and exceptional precision, neutralizing multiple strongholds used for cross-border attacks.

So far, the Pakistan Army has captured 19 Afghan posts — all of which were being used as launch sites for aggression against Pakistan.
Security sources added that Afghan Taliban fighters stationed at these posts were either killed or fled the area, leaving behind burning outposts and destroyed infrastructure.
Officials termed the development a major tactical success for the Pakistan Army in its ongoing campaign to secure the border and eliminate cross-border threats.
