Within 32 minutes of confirming the discovery, operational objectives expanded dramatically.

Extraction procedures were initiated at 0358.

Wounded personnel and detainees were prioritized as Chinooks cycled in under Apache escort.

Meanwhile, demolition teams secured tunnel access points.

As the final Ranger element lifted off at 0421, Tomahawk cruise missiles launched from naval platforms in the Arabian Sea struck their targets.

Bunker-penetrating warheads collapsed the fortress structure and sealed the underground chambers in cascading detonations.

Secondary explosions indicated stored materials igniting beneath the rubble.

The mission concluded with six wounded Rangers and one fatality.
