"In response to the repeated rebellions and insurrections of the Pakistani military, large-scale offensive operations were launched against Pakistani military bases and military installations along the Durand line. A large number of the enemy's soldiers have been killed and wounded, and some have been captured alive."
"The Durand line is the name for the two countries' 2,611-kilometer (1,622-mile) border, which Afghanistan has not recognized. Both sides also reported cross-border fire on Tuesday, but without casualties."
Afghanistan and Pakistan reported military clashes in border areas on Thursday, with significant disagreements over specific details and losses. The Taliban government, through spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid, characterized the fighting as a response to Pakistani airstrikes conducted on Sunday, which Afghanistan viewed as unauthorized incursions. Mujahid announced large-scale offensive operations against Pakistani military bases along the Durand Line, the 2,611-kilometer border that Afghanistan does not recognize. The Taliban claimed capture of multiple military facilities and posts across five provinces, reporting significant enemy casualties and prisoners. Pakistan provided its own account of events with different casualty figures and territorial assessments. This escalation represents the latest manifestation of tensions between the neighbors dating back to the Taliban's 2021 takeover of Afghanistan.
