Chaman Sector, Pakistan-Afghanistan Border┬а- Pakistani security forces launched devastating retaliatory strikes against Afghan Taliban border posts in the Chaman sector, destroying multiple Thana positions and an armored personnel carrier after Afghan Taliban forces opened unprovoked fire on Pakistani border posts, security sources confirmed Thursday.

ЁЯОп Thana Positions Destroyed

According to security sources, Pakistani forces successfully targeted and destroyed several key Afghan Taliban positions, including:

  • Mateen Thana┬а- Destroyed

  • Pasta Thana┬а- Destroyed

  • Almarjan Thana┬а- Destroyed

  • Sartashan Thana┬а- Direct Hit

The strikes were carried out under┬аOperation Ghazab lil-Haq, which was launched in response to what officials described as unprovoked aggression by Afghan Taliban forces and their supported militant elements along the Durand Line┬а.

ЁЯТе 30+ Taliban Fighters Killed, APC Destroyed

Security sources reported that┬аover 30 Afghan Taliban fighters were killed┬аduring the fierce engagement, marking one of the most severe border clashes along the Chaman corridor in recent months┬а. One┬аArmored Personnel Carrier (APC)┬аbelonging to the Taliban forces was also destroyed with direct fire┬а.

Following the intense retaliatory barrage,┬аseveral Afghan Taliban personnel abandoned their posts and fled┬аfrom the border positions, according to security officials┬а.

тЪФя╕П Context: Infiltration Attempt Sparked Clash

The escalation began when Pakistani forces foiled an infiltration attempt by┬аFitna al-Khawarij┬аmilitants attempting to cross into the Kurram sector from Afghanistan's Nangarhar and Paktia provinces, allegedly under Afghan Taliban supervision┬а.

After the infiltration attempt was thwarted, Afghan Taliban forces opened┬аindiscriminate fire on Pakistani border posts┬аusing heavy weapons, mortars, and other arms. Pakistani forces responded with concentrated artillery and direct strikes targeting Afghan Taliban posts, mortar positions, and defensive fortifications┬а.

ЁЯУК Casualty Figures

While Pakistani security sources reported┬аover 30 Taliban fighters killed┬аand┬аone APC destroyed┬а, Afghan authorities have not publicly confirmed these casualty figures. The accounts could not be independently verified as of publication time┬а.

Security sources emphasized that Pakistani forces continue to maintain┬аcomplete control over the border areas┬аand remain fully alert to respond decisively to any further provocation┬а.
