PESHAWAR: Security forces successfully neutralized the unprovoked attack at Angoor Adda, which originated from Afghan soil, compelling Afghan Taliban fighters to abandon their positions and flee, official sources confirmed.
According to security sources, Afghan Taliban forces initiated unprovoked firing on Pakistani border posts within the Angoor Adda sector.
In an immediate and resolute action, Pakistani forces retaliated in a highly measured and effective manner.
This retaliation specifically targeted multiple Taliban posts and mortar positions that had been actively used to launch the original unprovoked attack at Angoor Adda.
Following the precise counter-battery fire, Taliban fighters vacated their positions and fled deeper into Afghan territory.
Security officials have confirmed that the situation along the border remains fully under control, and the area is currently calm.
Pakistani troops continue to maintain full control of their positions.
High alert status and vigilance along the frontier are being maintained. Officials emphasized that any further aggression will receive a strong, direct, and immediate response, as demonstrated in the aftermath of the recent unprovoked attack at Angoor Adda.
Note on Taliban Hostility and Pakistan’s Response
The recent unprovoked attack at Angoor Adda is part of a continuing pattern of Afghan Taliban hostility directed at Pakistan’s border infrastructure and personnel.
Despite ongoing diplomatic engagements and formal mechanisms to manage the shared frontier, Taliban forces repeatedly initiate direct cross-border firing, violating established protocols. This consistent hostility undermines regional stability and creates unnecessary conflict at the border.
Conversely, Pakistan’s response has consistently focused on defensive action, deterrence, and a deliberate avoidance of escalating the conflict unnecessarily.

In this specific instance, security forces demonstrated a highly professional and precise response.
The counter-strike was carefully calibrated to neutralize the immediate threat, specifically targeting the origin points of the firing while employing effective fire control to limit secondary damage.
This precision ensures that while Afghan Taliban aggression is met with necessary force, the responses do not deviate from the objective of border control.
