According to the 1600 hours update released on 13 March, the operation involved air strikes against terrorist-affiliated installations inside Afghanistan. The report lists: 663 eliminated, 887+ injured, 249 posts destroyed, 44 posts captured, and 224 tanks, armored vehicles, and artillery guns destroyed. The locations cited span across Afghanistan, with focus on Kabul, Paktia, and Kandhar. The update states that approximately 70 terrorist and terrorist-support infrastructure locations were effectively targeted by air. It emphasizes that the campaign targeted only facilities that directly or indirectly supported terrorism from within Afghanistan and terrorist camps. The release notes that on the night of 12/13 March 2026, Pakistan conducted these operations and asserts that no civilian population or civilian infrastructure was targeted, countering allegations by Afghan regime officials and some media. A video accompanying the update is claimed to show precise targeting of installations connected to terrorism, rather than civilian targets.
