Tension on the border: Pakistani army hit Taliban positions

According to the Associated Press (AP) agency, citing unnamed Pakistani officials, the Pakistani army and Afghan security forces clashed at various points on the border line in the Kurram region of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.

In the conflict, the Pakistani army destroyed the border positions of the Afghan security forces with the fire support of its artillery units.

Afghan security forces on the border also opened fire against the Pakistani side.

It was claimed that "an undetermined number of Pakistani Taliban (TTP) militants who were trying to cross into Pakistan were killed" in the conflict.

Armed attacks in Pakistan are concentrated especially in the provinces of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Balochistan, which border Afghanistan.

Armed groups, who claim to defend the rights of Pashtun and Baloch ethnic groups in both provinces, are attacking Pakistani security forces and civilians.

While Islamabad argues that the Pakistani Taliban (TTP) is positioned in Afghanistan and organizes its attacks from there, the Afghan administration rejects these claims.
