Information Minister Atta Tarar stated that Pakistan's actions in Afghanistan were precise, limited, and confined to direct military targets. He warned against attacks from Afghan soil, emphasizing that they would not be tolerated.
In response to Afghanistan violating Pakistan's airspace, the Pakistan Army conducted retaliatory operations inside Afghanistan, successfully targeting and destroying 10 key sites used for launching and storing drones.
Federal Minister for Information and Broadcasting Attaullah Tarar strongly condemned drone incursions into Pakistan from Afghan territory. He described these actions as an attack on Pakistan's security and national sovereignty, a clear violation of Pakistani airspace.
However, Pakistan's brave air defence system successfully intercepted and shot down all intruding drones before they reached their targets.
Tarar clarified that Pakistan's retaliatory actions were highly targeted, limited to military sites, and directly linked to the drone attacks. He reiterated that any future violations from Afghan soil would not be tolerated. Pakistan reserves the right to defend its territory, citizens, and national security through all necessary means.
The minister called upon the Afghan Taliban government to immediately halt hostile and terrorist activities against Pakistan originating from their territory. He emphasized Pakistan's commitment to peace, dialogue, and constructive engagement while warning that any provocation would receive a stronger response in the future.
