The Pakistan Army announced that, in response to unprovoked attacks from Afghan Taliban and India-backed militants across the Pak-Afghan border, over 200 Taliban fighters and terrorists have been killed.
23 Pakistani soldiers were martyred during these clashes.
ISPR stated the attacks were aimed at destabilizing border areas and promoting terrorism, but the Pakistan Army successfully repelled the assault with timely action.
Taliban forces and militants faced heavy losses as multiple border posts, camps, and training centers were targeted. Around 21 Afghan posts were captured temporarily, and camps destroyed.
ISPR confirmed over 200 Taliban and terrorists were killed and several injured, with significant damage to their border infrastructure.
23 Pakistani soldiers were martyred, and 29 others injured. Safety measures were taken for civilians during operations.
The Taliban government was warned to eliminate terrorist groups on its soil or face continued operations from Pakistan.
The spokesperson stated efforts by the Taliban and India to destabilize the region were thwarted.
The Taliban Foreign Minister’s visit to India during these provocations was seen as a major threat to regional peace.
Pakistan demanded verifiable action from the Taliban government to stop supporting terrorists, warning of firm action to protect its citizens.
The statement reaffirmed that the people and armed forces of Pakistan will not compromise on the country’s sovereignty. Pakistan desires peace in the region but will not tolerate terrorism, vowing to continue countering the joint plots of the Taliban and India.
According to security sources, the Afghan Taliban launched unprovoked attacks on several Pakistani border posts last night while Afghan Foreign Minister Amir Khan Muttaqi was visiting India. Pakistani forces effectively retaliated, inflicting heavy losses on the attackers.
