Sources indicate that Pakistan will continue taking strong measures to protect its borders. This is not the first instance of unprovoked aggression from Afghan forces.
Pakistani security forces reaffirmed their commitment to safeguarding the country’s territorial integrity, delivering a decisive response to the aggression from Afghanistan.
Last month, the Afghan Taliban initiated unprovoked firing with heavy weapons on Pakistani checkposts from the Afghan region of Plosin, near the Pakistan-Afghanistan border.
The attack persisted into the evening of September 8 and 9. In response, the Pakistan Army launched a vigorous counterattack, causing significant losses for the Afghan Taliban.
Reports indicate that 16 Taliban fighters were killed, 27 wounded, and two of their tanks destroyed during the clash.
