Information Minister Attaullah Tarar said the strikes by Pakistan in Afghanistan targeted military installations and terrorist bases, adding that Kabul’s Green Zone was not touched during the operation.

“Their military installations have been completely destroyed. This is an ongoing situation and we will see where the situation leads,” he said, while speaking on Geo News.

“Afghan Taliban tried skirmishes, firing, and tried to inflict harm in Khyber and Chitral. However, they did not have the capacity. They do not have any capability in conventional warfare,” he said.

He noted that a difference in tone had been observed in the Afghan Taliban since yesterday.
