Pakistani Forces Thwart Infiltration
Pakistani security forces have successfully eliminated over 15 militants in a major border clash along the Afghanistan-Pakistan frontier. The clash occurred after a failed infiltration attempt by Khawarij militants and Afghan Taliban fighters attempting to cross into Pakistan.
Attack from Kurram and North Waziristan
Reports indicate that a group of 20-25 Khawarij militants attempted to infiltrate Pakistan from two different points: Kurram and North Waziristan. The militants sought cover behind Afghan Taliban border posts. However, Pakistani forces acted swiftly, preventing their entry.
TTP Militants Join Attack
In a separate attack, TTP militants operating from Afghanistan launched an assault from Afghan Taliban positions. Pakistani forces responded quickly, neutralizing the threat with minimal loss.
Pakistani Forces Launch Strong Counterattack
In response to the mounting threat, Pakistan forces launched a powerful counteroffensive. This resulted in over 15 militants being killed and the retreat of Afghan Taliban fighters, who abandoned six of their border posts.
Ongoing Border Security Concerns
This clash highlights the ongoing security challenges Pakistan faces at its border with Afghanistan. Militants, including those from the TTP and Khawarij factions, exploit the porous border to launch attacks. The situation remains tense, with both Pakistani forces and militants fighting for control of strategic border areas.
