The strikes, carried out during the night between March 12-15, 2026, targeted the Tarawo terrorist training camp, a key technical support infrastructure, and an oil storage site at Kandahar Airfield, along with its associated logistics infrastructure .

Terrorist Leadership Goes Into Hiding

At the time of these devastating strikes, senior leaders of multiple terrorist groups-including the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA), TTA, Al-Qaeda, and Jaish-ul-Adl (JUA)-had suddenly disappeared, reportedly hiding in unknown locations and underground bunkers to avoid being targeted .

According to ground intelligence reports, a key headquarters of TTP, TTA, Al-Qaeda, and ISIS-K was targeted, dealing a serious blow to their command structure . There were also reports that TTP commander Nur Wali Mehsud was seriously injured in the strikes .

The Scale of Destruction

By March 15, 2026, Operation Ghazab-ul-Haq had achieved significant results against terrorist infrastructure:

• 663 militants killed and more than 887 injured

• 249 posts destroyed and 44 positions captured by Pakistani forces

• 224 tanks, armored vehicles, and artillery pieces destroyed

• 70 terrorist and support infrastructure sites across Afghanistan targeted by airstrikes

• Headquarters of Afghan Taliban's 313 Corps in Kabul destroyed, along with ammunition depots 

Precision Strikes on Terrorist Camps

In Kandahar, the airstrikes specifically targeted the Tarawo terrorist training camp, which was being used by Fitna al-Khawarij militants for operational planning and logistical support . The strikes destroyed technical support infrastructure and equipment storage facilities used by militants for maintaining logistics, communication tools, and operational equipment .

The Aftermath: Terrorists Scatter

Following the massive airstrikes, senior leaders of terrorist groups went into deep hiding. Reports indicated that the strikes had forced the militant leadership to abandon their positions and disperse to unknown locations, severely disrupting their operational capabilities .

The operation marked a significant escalation in Pakistan's efforts to dismantle cross-border terrorist networks and demonstrated both the precision and reach of Pakistan's air and ground forces .

Security Sources Confirm Impact

Security officials confirmed that the targeted facilities played an important role in supporting militant planning and operations. The destruction of these facilities disrupted networks that had been coordinating cross-border attacks against Pakistan .

Operation Ghazab-ul-Haq Continues

Authorities have pledged continued vigilance and further actions against terrorist networks threatening Pakistan, while closely monitoring developments along the border and inside Afghanistan . The operation remains ongoing until all objectives are achieved .
