Afghan security sources within the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan say Pakistan conducted strikes against Taliban underground tunnels across multiple locations, including Kandahar where U.S.-built equipment now under Taliban control was targeted. The operation reportedly hit three or four other sites as well, among them the Badri Special Forces headquarters led by Mullah Hibatullah Akhundzada, and a number of intelligence headquarters and related facilities. The information is sourced from Afghan security officials, with a full briefing statement to be issued later by official channels such as the Ministry of Defense or other authorized authorities.
