PESHAWAR: Pakistani security forces have eliminated six personnel of the Afghan Taliban administration in a precision strike after they attempted to infiltrate Pakistan through the Zoi Saidgi sector of Datta Khel in North Waziristan, while a separate operation in South Waziristan thwarted an attempt by Afghan Taliban elements and Fitna al-Khawarij to establish positions near the border.
According to security sources, the six Afghan Taliban personnel were attempting to cross into Pakistani territory when they were eliminated in a direct strike. The operation demonstrated Pakistan’s continued vigilance along the international border and its determination to prevent terrorist infiltration.
In a separate development in the Angoor Adda sector of South Waziristan, Pakistani security forces foiled an attempt by Afghan Taliban regime elements and Fitna al-Khawarij militants to establish forward positions near the border.
The terrorists attempted to exploit civilian areas and concealed trenches as cover for their activities. Pakistani forces responded swiftly, neutralising one Fitna al-Khawarij militant and inflicting significant losses on the opposing elements, according to the security account.

The latest developments come amid repeated infiltration attempts and cross-border firing along the Pakistan-Afghanistan frontier.
Kurram infiltration attempt
On November 5, Pakistani security forces foiled an infiltration attempt by Fitna al-Khawarij terrorists in the Shalozan sector of Kurram district.
According to security sources, troops intercepted the terrorist formation attempting to cross into Pakistan from Afghanistan. Following the failure of the infiltration attempt, Afghan Taliban forces opened fire on Pakistani positions.
Pakistani forces responded with heavy weapons, targeting the positions from which the firing originated. Security sources said the response inflicted substantial damage on Afghan Taliban border posts and prevented the militants from entering Pakistani territory.
The November 5 incident was another indication of the security challenges confronting Pakistan along its western border, particularly in areas where militant groups have repeatedly attempted to cross into Pakistani territory.
Pakistan’s security concerns
Islamabad has repeatedly raised concerns over the presence of banned Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) militants and other anti-Pakistan armed groups inside Afghanistan.
Pakistan maintains that militant sanctuaries and operational networks across the border have contributed to the resurgence of terrorism in its northwestern districts. The government has repeatedly urged the Afghan Taliban administration to prevent its territory from being used for attacks against Pakistan and to take verifiable action against militant groups.
However, Pakistani security officials maintain that the protection of the country’s territorial integrity remains non-negotiable and that any attempt to infiltrate its borders or establish hostile positions near Pakistani territory will be met with an immediate and decisive response.
The latest operations underscore Pakistan’s continued efforts to secure its western frontier and prevent cross-border militant activity.
