RAWALPINDI/DI KHAN: Security forces on Saturday eliminated seven terrorists belonging to the outlawed Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) during an intelligence-based operation in the Kulachi area of Dera Ismail Khan district, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (K-P).

According to a statement issued Sunday by the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), the operation was launched following reports of TTP presence in the area.

"During the operation, own troops effectively engaged the khwarij location and, resultantly, seven Indian-sponsored khwarijincluding three Afghan nationals and two suicide bomberswere sent to hell," the statement read.

It added that a sanitization operation was underway to eliminate any other "Indian-sponsored khwarij" hiding in the area. "The security forces of Pakistan are determined to wipe out the menace of Indian-sponsored terrorism from the country," it said.

The military's media wing also stated that Pakistan expects the Interim Afghan Government to uphold its responsibilities and prevent its soil from being used for terrorist activities against Pakistan. Khwarij is the term used by security forces to describe TTP operatives in view of their extremist ideology.

Separately, two terrorist hideouts in Upper South Waziristan were destroyed when explosives stored inside went off for unknown reasons, killing six terrorists, including one foreigner, and injuring 14 others, among them seven Afghan nationals.

Local sources said the TTP had been using a primary school in Dwara Hebat Khel and an abandoned house belonging to Syed Rehman Abdul Khil in Tangi Badin Zai as hideouts. Both sites were stocked with a large cache of explosives, IEDs, grenades, and rocket launchers.

Late Saturday night, the explosives detonated, killing Inayatullah, Zakir, Noor Hameem, Saeed Afghani, Khair alias Umar, and Shakir alias Maulvi.

The injured included Ziauddin, Kasani (Afghan), Sohail alias Malangi Mama, Sagheer (Afghan), Shahi (Afghan), Maulvi Qari (Afghan), Siddiq (Afghan), Yousaf Kaka, Saghar (Afghan), Watan Yar, Khairu, Zabiullah (Afghan), Zakaullah, and Sabir alias Mukhlis.

Why there is no source from our side cause alot Indian and Afghan have now started cooking up stories that PAF bombed them they even knew the type of aircraft JF17 and type of munition used LS-6

One search on even LS-6 and dozens of Indian media outlets will show up spamming 'PAF bombed own villages' bro, tf is wrong with these people? A few weeks ago they were saying that we bombed a Mosque when in fact it was an explosion in a TTP-infested area Mosque and they were making IEDs in it
 
Major Success of Security Forces on Pak-Afghan Border at Dera Ghazi Khan - Due to the timely action and professional expertise of security forces, 3 Khwarij were sent to hell and one was arrested.

Afghan identity cards were recovered from the fitna of Khwarij, which clearly reveals their alliance with Tehreek-e-Taliban Afghanistan.

ISLAMABAD:
Pakistani authorities have determined that a striking 70 per cent of terrorists involved in recent attacks carried out by the banned Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) were Afghan nationals, a steep rise from the 5-10 percent recorded in earlier years, sources told The Express Tribune on Monday.

The startling revelation was made by Pakistan's special representative on Afghanistan Ambassador Muhammad Sadiq at a recent closed-door meeting of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) on Afghanistan held in Dushanbe, according to the sources familiar with the development.

The disclosure led the Iranian representative to share his perspective, revealing that his country, too, was facing the similar problem. The Iranian representative, according to the sources, cited an attack on Chabahar port where out of 18 attackers, 16 were Afghan nationals.

The increased involvement of Afghan nationals in terrorist attacks has set alarm bells ringing in Islamabad, where officials now see the growing Afghan footprint in the cross-border terrorism as a new and dangerous trend.



According to the sources, the increase percentage underscores the Taliban government's failure or unwillingness to curb the use of Afghan soil by the TTP against Pakistan. Officials fear that the development could further strain the already uneasy ties between Islamabad and Kabul.

Pakistan has long accused the Afghan Taliban of providing sanctuary to the TTP leaders and fighters, who regrouped across the border after Pakistan's military operations in the former tribal areas. While the Taliban have publicly denied giving the group a free hand, Islamabad insists that the TTP safe havens in Afghanistan remain intact.

Tensions worsened in recent weeks after a string of deadly attacks in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa, which Pakistan directly linked to militants operating from Afghanistan.

Diplomatic outreach

In a sign of growing concern, Pakistan is now stepping up diplomatic engagement with regional stakeholders to mount pressure on the Taliban regime. Sources confirmed that Ambassador Muhammad Sadiq, Pakistan's Special Envoy on Afghanistan, will soon travel to Tehran and Moscow to discuss the matter.

The outreach reflects Islamabad's strategy of seeking broader regional consensus to push the Taliban into acting decisively against the TTP. Both Iran and Russia, like Pakistan, remain wary of extremist groups exploiting Afghanistan's fragile security landscape.

For Pakistan, the rising involvement of Afghan nationals in TTP attacks is a troubling escalation that not only complicates border security but also raises questions about Kabul's commitments. Officials believe that unless the Taliban take tangible steps, the trend could spiral into a major flashpoint in bilateral relations.
 
My goodness ! What a turnaround ! When I had joined this forum in my younger days the headlines were like : "Pakistan Footprints Deepens into Afghanistan ! 70% of Afghanistan under taliban control " !!

Hydra bro,

What is the way out then? Do you think it needs Pak Army foot on ground in AFG? The current strategy seems to be showing modest result.

Regards

Afghanistan’s Double Game: Doha Promises Broken, Terror Exported

🔸Kabul’s selective compliance fuels instability and costs Pakistan dearly

Afghanistan’s latest invocation of the Doha Agreement—this time to reject reported U.S. requests for Bagram Air Base access—is a masterclass in opportunism. Kabul brandishes the accord when it shields Afghan interests but abandons its commitments when those same obligations demand action against terrorism emanating from its soil.

🔺The Doha Deal Betrayed:

The Taliban vowed under the Doha framework that Afghanistan would never again serve as a launchpad for militancy or meddle in neighbors’ affairs. Reality tells another story: terrorist Groups continue to operate freely within Afghan territory, turning the nation into a hub for regional chaos.

🔺Pakistan Bears the Cost

No country has suffered more from Kabul’s duplicity than Pakistan. Thousands of civilians and security personnel have been Martyred or wounded in attacks staged from Afghan sanctuaries since the Taliban’s return to power. Despite Islamabad’s repeated submission of undeniable evidence, the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) continues to find safe haven, funding and support across the border, regrouping and spilling blood inside Pakistan.

🔺Hypocrisy Laid Bare

Afghanistan invokes the Doha Agreement as a shield against American influence while ignoring its own obligations under that same accord. This glaring double standard erodes any remaining credibility Kabul claims to hold and underscores the futility of relying on hollow assurances.

🔺A Clear Road to Stability

Peace cannot thrive on selective compliance or political gamesmanship. Until Afghanistan dismantles terrorist sanctuaries, honors its Doha pledges, and engages sincerely with regional partners, its calls for sympathy will remain hollow. True stability demands accountability, not excuses—and the world must hold Kabul to that standard.
