Kabul: Days after Pakistan airstrikes on Afghanistan which killed around 51 persons in Afghanistan the Taliban forces on Saturday in a response claimed to have killed 19 Pakistani soldiers after a heavy clash at Afghan and Pakistan border crossing.
The local media reports said that around 19 Pakistani soldiers and four Afghan residents have been killed on Saturday in the fierce clashes in eastern Afghanistan’s Khost and Paktia provinces bordering Pakistan.
The reports also revealed that Afghan border forces have set on fire several Pakistani military posts in the Ali Shir district of Khost province and captured two Pakistani posts in the Dand-e-Patan district of Paktia province.
In addition to this, following the Taliban’s return to power in Afghanistan, Pakistan has witnessed a spike in terror attacks as the new regime has emboldened and strengthened the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP). The TTP aims to establish an Islamic emirate in Pakistan, just like its brother outfit did in Kabul.
A report by the Islamabad-based Center for Research and Security Studies revealed a 56 per cent rise in fatalities from terror attacks in Pakistan in 2023 compared to 2022, with over 1,500 killed, including 500 security personnel.
