“The Taliban forces are being dealt a firm response in Chitral, Khyber, Mohmand, Kurram, and Bajaur sectors,” the statement added.

Early reports confirm heavy casualties on the Afghan side with multiple posts and equipment destroyed, said the ministry.

Pakistan will take all necessary measures to ensure its territorial integrity and the safety and security of its citizens, it added.

The development came days after more than 100 militants were killed in intelligence-based airstrikes along the Pakistan–Afghanistan border targeting seven camps and hideouts linked to Fitna al-Khawarij — a term used for the banned Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan.
