Unprovoked firing by the Afghan Taliban and Fatna ul-Khawarij took place in Kurram, prompting a strong and forceful response from the Pakistan Army.
According to details surfaced on Tuesday, the Taliban fled, abandoning their posts and the bodies of their comrades. Security sources reported that Pakistan Army retaliatory fire inflicted severe damage on Taliban positions. A fire broke out at the posts, and the Army destroyed a Taliban tank with skill. The Afghan Taliban retreated, leaving behind the bodies of their fighters.
Operations against the Taliban and Fatna ul-Khawarij continue, according to security sources. Within an hour, the fourth tank position, Shamshad Post, was destroyed. Reports indicated the death of a key commander of Fatna al-Khawarij. Fighters from both groups are abandoning their posts and retreating.
The Pakistan Army is also conducting operations against terrorist hideouts. Eyewitnesses say that civilians from both sides of the border are relocating amid rising tension.
It should be recalled that on the night of 11 October, the Afghan Taliban opened unprovoked fire on the Pakistani border, to which the Pakistan Army responded decisively.
A statement from the ISPR said credible intelligence and damage assessments confirm that more than 200 Indian-backed Khawarij were killed during the clashes. The number of injured is significantly higher. The statement added that Taliban posts, camps, headquarters and the infrastructure supporting terrorist networks were destroyed during the counter-attack.
