ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) – Pakistan rejected the baseless statement by the Indian Ministry of External Affairs on Pakistan's legitimate, targeted and proportionate actions against terrorist infrastructure in Afghanistan.
Foreign Office Spokesperson Tahir Andrbi said, “This preposterous statement has been made by a country that has historically interfered in and undermined the sovereignty and territorial integrity of its neighbouring countries, in contravention of the UN Charter, and continues to suppress the right to self-determination of the Kashmiris in Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir, in violation of the relevant UN resolutions”.

— Ministry of Foreign Affairs - Pakistan (@ForeignOfficePk) July 1, 2026India has also been actively aiding and sponsoring terrorist groups operating from Afghan soil against Pakistan, in violation of the relevant UN Security Council sanctions regime, and continues to play the role of a regional spoiler. Its baseless accusations and inflammatory statements against Pakistan must not be entertained.
Pakistan has been and will continue to take all appropriate measures to uphold the safety and security of its citizens in accordance with international law, Andrabi said.
On Sunday night, Pakistan's security forces carried out precision strikes on terrorist hideouts along the Pakistan-Afghanistan border, killing 29 militants, Information Minister Attaullah Tarar said.
In a post on X, Tarar said the operation was launched in response to recent terrorist attacks targeting civilians in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Balochistan, as well as the Pakistan Rangers (Sindh) camp in Karachi.
He said the strikes, conducted overnight between June 28 and 29 as part of Operation Ghazab lil-Haq, targeted terrorist camps and hideouts in the border regions.
According to the minister, three key targets in Paktia, Paktika and Kunar were successfully destroyed, killing 25 militants. He added that large caches of weapons and ammunition stored at the sites were also destroyed during the operation.
