Taliban Pakistan Border Clash: After Pakistan’s alleged air strikes in Kabul last week, fierce clashes have started between the Taliban and the Pakistani Army on the Durand Line. Afghanistan’s Khalid bin Walid Army Corps reported that Taliban forces captured several Pakistani posts and 12 soldiers were killed. According to security sources, these clashes are spread in provinces like Kunar, Helmand and Paktia. The sounds of gunfire and explosions were heard in many local villages, and people sought safety by hiding in their homes.
Taliban or Pakistan – who is bearing the brunt on the border?
Afghan Defense Ministry spokesman Inayatullah Khowarazmi said the Taliban’s action was in response to Pakistan’s violation of their airspace. He warned that if the Pakistani Army violates the border again, a strong response will be given. Pakistani security officials said their forces were responding with full force, and any attack would not be tolerated.
Who is safe and who is in danger?
There was widespread talk on social media that the Taliban had targeted senior leaders of Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), including chief Noor Wali Mehsud. However, Afghan officials confirmed that Mehsud was safe. Experts believe that this border tension is the most serious in the last few years. Since the return of Taliban to power, the fragility and instability of relations between Pakistan and Afghanistan is clearly visible.
Did Qatar’s warning come on time?
Qatar immediately called on both countries to exercise restraint and resolve differences through dialogue. The Ministry of External Affairs said that the increasing tension in the border areas will not only impact regional security but can also be a threat to international peace. Experts say that if both sides continue mutual accusations and armed action, this border dispute may move towards a new and bigger crisis.
