Pakistan says military operation in Afghanistan will continue

Pakistan’s Defence Minister Khawaja Asif said on Friday there was no fixed timeline for ending Pakistan’s military operation in Afghanistan and that there was “no doubt” the campaign would continue until Islamabad achieved its objectives.

He said pressure on the Kabul administration would remain in place as fighting along the frontier persists. Speaking to Geo News, Asif said the operation launched to achieve “specific objectives” had not yet been completed and that it was too early to predict what the long-term outcome would be.
