The Pakistan Army repels Afghan Taliban and Fitna al-Khawarij attacks near Chaman, marking another decisive response against cross-border aggression. According to security sources, coordinated assaults were launched by Afghan Taliban fighters and the militant faction known as Fitna al-Khawarij early Wednesday morning in the Spin Boldak area, but were swiftly countered by Pakistan’s armed forces.
The attackers faced heavy retaliation, with 15 to 20 militants reported killed and several others injured, as Pakistani troops defended national borders with precision and strength.
During the fierce engagement, the militants destroyed the Pak-Afghan Friendship Gate in an apparent attempt to disrupt cross-border movement and trade. However, the Pakistan Army maintained full control of the area, demonstrating its readiness to neutralize any threat to national sovereignty.
The ISPR confirmed that the attacks originated from nearby Afghan villages, showing complete disregard for civilian lives.
Security officials said Pakistani forces also foiled a similar assault in the Kurram district the previous night, where multiple Taliban and Fitna al-Khawarij positions were destroyed. In that operation, the Pakistan Army demolished eight Taliban posts and six tanks, eliminating several militants and seizing U.S.-made weapons used in the attacks. The Pakistan Army repels Afghan Taliban and Fitna al-Khawarij attacks near Chaman as part of its broader strategy to protect national integrity and regional stability.
Reports suggest that the attackers used civilians as shields, further exposing the inhuman tactics of these militant factions. Despite their aggression, Pakistan’s swift and coordinated military response inflicted massive losses on the assailants, compelling them to retreat. The situation near Spin Boldak remains tense but under control, with surveillance and intelligence operations underway to prevent any future incursions.
Pakistan’s leadership has reiterated that the country’s armed forces will continue to defend every inch of its territory. The ISPR has made it clear that any act of aggression from across the border will invite a strong, decisive, and immediate response. The recent hostilities highlight Islamabad’s growing frustration with the Afghan Taliban regime for sheltering terror groups such as TTP, ETIM, Al Qaeda, and Daesh, which pose a severe threat to Pakistan’s national security and regional peace.
