ISLAMABAD: Pakistan has conducted precision strikes on Gul Bahadur Group Camps in Paktika (Afghanistan) and neutralized 70 militants on Saturday (18th Oct, 2025).
Taking to the X Information Minister stated: “Pakistani forces struck verified camps of Kharji Gul Bahadur in border areas of North and South Waziristan districts along Pak-Afghan border. During 48 hours-long ceasefire, Kharjis operating from Afghanistan, attempted to launch multiple terrorists attacks inside Pakistan which were effectively countered by security forces.
“During the effective responses by security forces, more than 100 Kharjis were sent to hell. Kharjis ex Gul Bahadur Group also undertook vehicle borne IED attack in North Waziristan in which civilians and a soldier embraced Shahdat and multiple were injured. Against Kharjis of Gul Bahadur Group, precision strikes were undertaken last night.
“In these precision strikes, minimum 60-70 Kharjis and their leadership have been sent to hell based on confirmed intelligence reports. All speculations and assertions being made regarding targeting of civilians are false and meant to generate support for terrorist groups operating from inside Afghanistan.
“Pakistan sincerely believes that path forward lies in resolving this complex issue of Indian-sponsored terrorism emanating from Afghan soil through talks and control of non-state actors by Afghan authorities. However, Pakistan has all the rights to safeguard its territorial integrity and the lives of the people of Pakistan, and we shall not allow terrorists operating from inside Afghanistan to live in peace.”

It may be recalled that security forces had foiled a suicide attack in Mir Ali Area of North Waziristan. According to details a suicide bomber rammed his IED-laden vehicle against the wall of military camp. Following the blast, three militants attempted to enter the batiment but were neutralised. The blast and following skirmish claimed lives of three women and two children. Militant Gul Bahadur Group claimed responsibility for the Mir Ali (N. Waziristan) attack. In retaliation Pakistan carried out precision strikes on his camps in Paktika.
