ISLAMABAD: Pakistan’s security forces thwarted an aggression attempt by Afghan Taliban forces at the Naushki-Ghazni sector of the Pakistan-Afghanistan border.
According to security sources, Afghan forces opened fire on Pakistani posts. In response, Pakistan tar-geted Afghan checkpoints during its counteraction. The exchange of fire occurred while Pakistani forces were engaged in fence repair work. Pakistan’s effective retaliation inflicted heavy losses on the Afghan forces.
Sources indicate that Pakistan will continue its strong measures to protect its borders. This is not the first instance of unprovoked aggression from Afghan forces.
Pakistani security forces reaffirm their commitment to safeguarding the country’s territorial integrity, delivering a decisive response to this aggression from Afghanistan.
Last month, the Afghan Taliban initiated unprovoked firing with heavy weapons targeting Pakistani checkposts from the Afghan region of Plosin, located near the Pakistan-Afghanistan border.
Security sources reported that the attack persisted into the evening of September 8 and 9. In re-sponse, the Pakistan Army launched a vigorous counterattack, leading to substantial losses for the Af-ghan Taliban.
16 Taliban fighters were reported killed, 27 wounded, and two of their tanks destroyed.
