Afghan Taliban regime\u2019s unprovoked action along the Pakistan\u2013Afghanistan border was given an immediate and effective response, according to a statement released by the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting on Thursday. In the post on X, the ministry said that the Afghan Taliban miscalculated and opened unprovoked fire on multiple locations across the Pak-Afghan border in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, which is being met with an immediate and effective response by Pakistan\u2019s security forces. \u201cTaliban regime forces are being delivered punishment in Chitral, Khyber, Mohmand, Kurram and Bajaur sectors,\u201d it added. Early reports confirm heavy casualties on the Afghan side with multiple posts and equipment destroyed, said the ministry. Pakistan will take all necessary measures to ensure its territorial integrity and the safety and security of its citizens, it added. The development came days after more than 100 militants were killed in intelligence-based airstrikes along the Pakistan\u2013Afghanistan border targeting seven camps and hideouts linked to Fitna al-Khawarij \u2014 a term used for the banned Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan. According to the security sources, the airstrikes had been carried out in Nangarhar, Paktika and Khost provinces of Afghanistan in response to recent suicide attacks in Pakistan.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
