Forces Target Taliban Posts After Unprovoked Firing
The deputy commissioner said Taliban personnel abandoned several posts after Pakistan’s response to unprovoked firing, as border tensions remained high.
- On Sunday, Pakistani security forces struck multiple Afghan Taliban border posts, mortar positions, and defense posts in South Waziristan, responding to what officials described as unprovoked cross-border firing.
- This escalation follows an October 27 incident where Afghan Taliban shelling killed one civilian and injured five others, damaging civilian houses and the Angoor Adda Bazaar in South Waziristan.
- Deputy Commissioner South Waziristan Lower confirmed that Afghan Taliban personnel abandoned their posts and fled following the operation; no casualties were reported on the Pakistani side.
- Islamabad denounced the Afghan Taliban's 'latest fabrication of lies' regarding the Angoor Adda clashes, while repeatedly urging Kabul to prevent militant groups from using Afghan territory for attacks.
- Pakistan has previously conducted precision strikes against terrorist hideouts near the border, demanding that Kabul dismantle infrastructure for groups like the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan, though Kabul denies harboring militants.
