Pakistan has claimed it struck the famed Bagram Air Base in Afghanistan as part of a fresh military campaign against the Afghan Taliban, escalating tensions along the border. The operation, named Operation Ghazab lil Haq (Righteous Fury), was launched on the night of February 26. “An aircraft hangar and two warehouses at Bagram Air Base were destroyed in a Pakistani attack, satellite images of which have also emerged,” PTV reported, quoting The NYT. Quoting defence experts, PTV said Pakistan's "successful operation" on Bagram Air Base caused heavy damage to the Afghan Taliban regime. “By targeting Bagram Air Base, Pakistan sent a clear message to the Afghan Taliban regime that it can operate anywhere in Afghanistan,” it quoted an unnamed defence expert as saying.
