Pakistan Conducts Border Operation Killing 29 Militants Near Afghanistan
On June 29, Pakistani security forces conducted an intelligence-based ground operation and strikes along the Pakistan-Afghanistan border, killing 29 militants. The operation targeted hideouts linked to Jamaat-ul-Ahrar and Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), groups blamed for recent attacks inside Pakistan, including a deadly assault on paramilitary Rangers in Karachi. Pakistan stated the action was in response to multiple militant attacks, while Afghanistan had no immediate comment. These developments follow earlier cross-border strikes and may heighten tensions between Islamabad and Kabul.
