“The Afghan Taliban are suffering heavy military losses in the effective and strong operations carried out by the Pakistan Army,” a source said.

The Pakistan Army targeted 41 posts of the Afghan Taliban and Fitna Al Khawarij with light and heavy weapons on the night of March 4/5, security sources say.
According to the sources, the army conducted the operations in the border areas adjacent to the Chaman, Zhob, Noshki sectors and Qila Abdullah.
Two civilians have reportedly been killed and one was injured when a missile fired from an unidentified direction struck the Governor Cottage inside Miranshah Cantonment in North Waziristan late at night.
According to local sources, the missile landed within the premises of the Governor Cottage, partially damaging the structure. The Deputy Commissioner (DC) Compound also sustained severe damage due to the impact and the intensity of the explosion.
However, officials have yet to issue a formal statement confirming the exact extent of the damage or the casualties.
Residents said a powerful explosion was heard across Miranshah and its surrounding localities, after which a heavy contingent of security personnel rushed to the site. The area was immediately cordoned off and a search operation was launched.
Initial reports suggest that the two deceased were civilians who happened to be nearby at the time of the attack. Their identities have not yet been officially released.
An investigation has been initiated to determine the nature of the attack and identify those responsible.
The sources said the actions caused “heavy casualties and financial losses” to the Afghan Taliban and the terrorists.
“The activities under Operation Ghazab lil-Haq will continue until the set goals are fully achieved,” a security source said.
