Dozens of Afghanistan soldiers and foreign terrorists were killed and several their border posts destroyed in a befitting response from the Pakistan army to the unprovoked firing by the enemies.
According to Pakistan Army security sources, Pakistan’s timely action destroyed several border posts in Afghanistan and killed dozens of Afghan soldiers and foreigners.
According to security sources, Afghan forces opened unprovoked firing at the Pak-Afghan border in Angor Adda, Bajaur, Kurram, Dir, Chitral, and Baram Chah (Balochistan). The aim of the firing was also to force Khawarij terrorists to cross the border into Pakistan.
Sources said that the alert and prepared posts of the Pakistan Army responded swiftly and vigorously, which is still ongoing. The Pakistan Army responded immediately and effectively targeted several Afghan posts.
Security sources said that Pakistan’s timely action destroyed several border posts in Afghanistan and killed dozens of Afghan soldiers and foreigners.
The Taliban fled after abandoning several of their posts, and bodies were scattered.
It should be noted that this aggression by Afghanistan is being carried out at a time when the Afghan Foreign Minister is visiting India.
Security sources added that Pakistani forces effectively dispersed militant formations inside Afghanistan after targeting multiple positions sheltering ISIS and Fitna Al-Khawarij elements.
According to the sources, a number of Afghan posts completely failed to provide cover fire to these Indian-backed militant groups during the exchange and, as a result, suffered heavy losses.
The Pakistan Army used artillery, tanks, and both light and heavy weapons in its response, while air assets and drones were also deployed to strike militant hideouts.
The operation targeted ISIS and Khawarij sanctuaries, including Afghan command centres harbouring these militants, the sources said, confirming that terrorist positions and hideouts were also struck inside Afghanistan.
Pakistan warns Kabul after India-Afghanistan statement breaches UN resolutions
Pakistan on Saturday rejected Afghan Foreign Minister Amir Khan Muttaqi’s comments linking terrorism to internal issues of Pakistan and expressed strong reservations over the India-Afghanistan joint statement issued in New Delhi, terming it “highly insensitive” and contrary to established facts.
According to the Foreign Office, Afghanistan’s ambassador in Islamabad was summoned after the Afghan foreign minister’s remarks were deemed misleading and “against the reality on ground.” Pakistan also lodged a strong protest against the reference to Jammu and Kashmir in the joint statement, describing it as a “clear violation” of United Nations Security Council (UNSC) resolutions and the disputed region’s internationally recognised status.
A Foreign Office spokesperson said the joint statement ignored “the sacrifices and sentiments of the people of Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK), who continue their just struggle for self-determination.” The spokesperson added that describing Jammu and Kashmir as part of India directly contravenes UNSC resolutions.
The joint statement was released during Afghan Foreign Minister Muttaqi’s six-day visit to India, following a temporary travel exemption granted by the UNSC Committee. It marked the first such trip by a Taliban leader to India since 2021.
During the visit, India announced it would reopen its embassy in Kabul – closed since the Taliban takeover in 2021 – signalling a diplomatic thaw between the two sides. Both countries also jointly condemned “all acts of terrorism emanating from regional countries,” emphasising regional peace, stability, and mutual trust.
Pakistan, however, rejected the assertion that terrorism was an “internal issue” for Islamabad. The Foreign Office reiterated that credible evidence had been shared with Kabul regarding the presence of “Fitna-e-Khawarij and Fitna-e-Hindustan” elements operating from Afghan soil, targeting Pakistan with support from within Afghanistan.
“Deflecting responsibility for controlling terrorism towards Pakistan cannot absolve the Interim Afghan Government of its obligations to ensure peace and stability in the region,” the statement said.
The Foreign Office reaffirmed that Pakistan had hosted nearly four million Afghan refugees for over four decades, continuing to issue medical and study visas on humanitarian grounds. It noted that as peace returns to Afghanistan, all unauthorised Afghan nationals residing in Pakistan should now return home.
Reiterating its commitment to a peaceful, stable, and connected Afghanistan through trade and regional cooperation, Pakistan underlined that its national security and the prevention of cross-border terrorism remain top priorities.
“Pakistan expects the interim Afghan government to play its due role by taking concrete measures to prevent its territory from being used by Fitna-e-Khawarij and Fitna-e-Hindustan against Pakistan,” the Foreign Office concluded.
Islamabad and Kabul continue to face strained relations amid the Taliban administration’s reluctance to act against terrorist groups based in Afghanistan. Pakistan has reported a rise in cross-border attacks since 2021, particularly in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Balochistan.
