KURRAM: Pakistani security forces successfully countered unprovoked firing by the Afghan Taliban targeting border posts in the Kurram Sector (Shalozan area) along the Pak-Afghan border.
The Afghan Taliban initiated unprovoked aggression using heavy weaponry, targeting Pakistani border security positions.
Responding with immediate and effective counter-fire, Pakistani troops utilized heavy artillery and weapons systems to target hostile Taliban border positions, mortar launch sites, and defensive checkpoints.
The retaliatory strike inflicted severe infrastructure damage on several Afghan Taliban posts.
Security officials reaffirmed that the Pakistan Armed Forces remain fully alert and vigilant along the frontier, possessing the full capability and resolve to decisively neutralize any cross-border violation threatening national sovereignty.
Hostility from Afghanistan and Pakistan’s Befitting Response
The escalating cross-border hostility originating from Afghanistan represents a complex and persistent threat to Pakistan’s national security and regional stability.
Despite repeated diplomatic engagements and formal mechanisms urging the Afghan interim administration to secure its borders, hostile elements and militant factions continue to utilize Afghan soil to execute unprovoked shelling, cross-border incursions, and targeted attacks against Pakistani border outposts.
These unprovoked acts of aggression violate established international protocols, threatening civilian lives and disrupting cross-border trade and peace across the border districts.
In response to these security breaches, Pakistan maintains a robust military posture anchored in proportional yet decisive deterrence.
The Pakistan Armed Forces execute a tactical operational response aimed at dismantling enemy firing positions, enforcing strict border monitoring, and protecting the territorial integrity of the country.
Beyond immediate kinetic responses, Pakistan continues to emphasize border management infrastructure, including fencing, high-tech surveillance checkpoints, and regulated crossing protocols to neutralize infiltration threats.
While Pakistan steadfastly pursues diplomatic dialogue to maintain regional peace, its defensive doctrine remains unambiguous: any unprovoked aggression from across the western border will be met with a swift, comprehensive, and befitting response.
