US EditionBorder Tensions: Pakistan Accuses Afghanistan of Facilitating Terror
Pakistan Army reports 4,910 intelligence-based operations since Nov. 4 amid Afghan Taliban fire on border posts aiding infiltration and smuggling, with no distinction made between Taliban factions.
- On Tuesday, Lt Gen Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry, head of the Inter-Services Public Relations, alleged the Afghan Taliban facilitated cross-border infiltrations, `providing a cover for illegal infiltration of terrorists and even smugglers into Pakistan`.

- Since January, the military said its intelligence-based operations have conducted at least 67,023 IBOs nationwide, killing 206 terrorists in these efforts.

- The military's provincial breakdown indicates Balochistan recorded over 53,000 IBOs, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa over 12,800, and the military reported 4,729 terrorist incidents since January.
