US EditionPakistan says troops killed 20 militants in a region bordering Afghanistan
Pakistani security forces killed 20 Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan militants in two raids amid failed peace talks and rising cross-border tensions, officials said.
- On Monday, Pakistani security forces carried out raids that killed 20 Pakistani Taliban insurgents in the northwest region bordering Afghanistan, the military said as tensions escalated.
- Talks in Istanbul collapsed after Kabul refused a written assurance on militant activity, and since then Pakistan has demanded Afghan handovers of Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan members.
- In detail, the military said eight militants died in North Waziristan and 12 in Dara Adam Khel, describing them as `Khwarij` and noting many have taken refuge in Afghanistan.
- Qatar brokered a ceasefire on Oct. 19 after clashes killed dozens, while Pakistan insists there will be no talks with the Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan unless militants are handed over or controlled and both blamed each other for the Istanbul talks' collapse.
- The broader picture shows the Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan allied with the Afghan Taliban and emboldened since 2021, while Afghanistan's Taliban government denies harbouring militants despite beliefs many TTP leaders took refuge there.
