Pakistan Forces Repel Taliban Attack at Border

Pakistani security forces successfully repelled an unprovoked attack by Afghan Taliban fighters at the Naushki-Ghazni sector of the Pakistan-Afghanistan border. The aggression began while Pakistani troops were repairing the border fence, leading to a robust counterattack that resulted in significant losses for the Afghan forces, including the reported deaths of 16 fighters and the destruction of two tanks. This incident is part of a continuing pattern of aggression from Afghan forces, prompting Pakistan to reaffirm its commitment to border security and territorial integrity. The Pakistani military emphasized that they will take decisive measures to protect their borders against any such threats in the future. As tensions persist, Pakistan remains resolute in its defensive posture along the border. The Durand Line, which stretches over 2,640 kilometers, is central to these security efforts, with fencing aimed at preventing cross-border terrorist movement.
