The Pakistan Armed Forces remain fully vigilant and capable of defending every inch of the motherland.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAny misadventures or cross-border provocations threatening the sovereignty of Pakistan and endangering our people will continue to be met with swift, decisive, and overwhelming responses under Operation Ghazab-lil-Haq.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Notably, Pakistan has also witnessed a spike in terror activities since 2021, when the Taliban came into power. Most recently, the Foreign Office issued a demarche to the Afghan Charge d&#8217; Affaires over the terrorist attack on a Pakistan Rangers (Sindh) camp in Karachi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The attack martyred three Rangers personnel. The demarche was issued in light of the fact that Afghan nationals, including one apprehended alive, participated in this attack, proving yet again that Afghan soil and Afghan nationals continue to be used to orchestrate terrorist attacks inside Pakistan.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Pakistani military has downed four drones launched by the Afghan Taliban along the Balochistan border, the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) said on Wednesday.
