In a major tactical shift during the early hours of Friday, February 27, 2026, the Pakistan Army has solidified its presence within the Paktia region of Afghanistan. Following the launch of Operation Ghazab-lil-Haqq, security forces successfully captured and occupied five key Afghan posts that were reportedly being used to facilitate cross-border aggression.
Breakdown of Captured Positions
According to official security sources and viral footage shared by state media (PTV News), the Pakistan Army has hoisted the national flag at the following locations:
- Two posts opposite the Shawal sector (North/South Waziristan border).
- Two posts opposite Angoor Adda (South Waziristan).
- One post opposite Zarmalan.
Destruction of Angoor Adda Terminal
In a move to paralyze the logistics of the Afghan Taliban regime in the southern sector, Pakistani forces completely destroyed the Afghan terminal at Angoor Adda. This facility was identified as a key staging ground for militant movement and supply lines targeting Pakistani checkposts.
