Pakistan Conducts Border Operation Killing 29 Militants Amid Rising Attacks
Pakistan's security forces conducted an intelligence-based ground operation and subsequent strikes along the Pakistan-Afghanistan border, killing 29 militants, according to officials. The operation targeted hideouts of Jamaat-ul-Ahrar and Fitna al-Khwarij groups, following recent militant attacks within Pakistan, including an assault in Karachi. The military did not specify strike methods, and there was no immediate response from Afghanistan. These actions may increase tensions between Islamabad and Kabul amid ongoing regional security challenges.
