Pakistan has carried out two major, widely reported offensive actions recently: airstrikes inside Afghanistan and large-scale counter-operations in Balochistan inside its own territory.

Key recent attacks

  • Airstrikes in Afghanistan (February 2026)
    • On 21 February 2026, the Pakistan Air Force conducted airstrikes across the Afghan provinces of Nangarhar, Paktika, and Khost.
* Pakistan said the targets were alleged militant camps of the **TTP** (Tehreek‑e‑Taliban Pakistan) and **ISIS–K** , in response to recent attacks in places like Islamabad, Bajaur, and Bannu.
* These strikes significantly escalated tensions with the Afghan Taliban authorities, who later launched retaliatory actions along the border and beyond.
  • Operations in Balochistan (late January–early February 2026)
    • In late January and early February 2026, militants from the Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA) carried out a wave of coordinated attacks across multiple districts in Balochistan, Pakistan.
* Pakistan’s security forces responded with a major operation, **ā€œOperation Radd‑ul‑Fitna‑1ā€** , inside Balochistan to hunt down insurgents involved in those attacks.
* The operation, which the military said was intelligence‑based and multi‑agency, reportedly led to the killing of more than 200 militants and insurgents over several days.

Context: what ā€œwhere did Pakistan attackā€ can mean

Because ā€œwhere did Pakistan attackā€ is broad, it can refer to:

  • Cross‑border airstrikes into Afghanistan
    • Location: Nangarhar, Paktika, Khost provinces in eastern and southeastern Afghanistan.
* Justified by Pakistan as retaliation against groups it says are using Afghan soil to launch attacks into Pakistan.
  • Internal counterterrorism and counter‑insurgency operations
    • Location: Various districts of Balochistan (for example, areas hit during the BLA’s Operation Herof 2.0).
* These are conducted within Pakistan’s own borders but are still described in news and forums as ā€œPakistan attacks militantsā€ or ā€œPakistan launches operation.ā€

Important cautions

  • Details like casualty counts, who was targeted, and whether civilians were harmed are contested and often differ between Pakistani officials, Afghan authorities, militant groups, and independent media.
  • The situation is fast‑moving , and narratives can change as more information, investigations, or international reactions emerge.

If you meant a different incident (for example, a specific date, city, or type of target), say that clearly (e.g., ā€œwhere did Pakistan attack on [date]?ā€), and the answer can be narrowed to that particular event.
