Clashes Between Islamic Emirate-Pakistani Forces Leave 2 Dead, 11 Injured

As a result of clashes between the forces of the Islamic Emirate and the Pakistani military, two people, including a woman, have been killed, and eleven others injured.

Local residents reported that since Wednesday evening of last week, intermittent clashes between the Islamic Emirate forces and the Pakistani military have been ongoing in the Zazai Maidan district of Khost province.

According to them, a large number of families along the Durand Line have migrated to nearby areas.

"We have two martyrs, including one woman, and about eleven injured," said Thamin Khan, a resident of Zazi Maidan district.

"Bullets have struck near homes, and it is unclear what will happen next. This situation has caused problems for the people, and they have migrated," Mohibullah, another resident, told TOLOnews.

Meanwhile, on Saturday night, the Deputy Governor of Khost, during his visit to the Zazai Maidan district, told the residents and the forces stationed along the Durand Line to respond appropriately to any attacks.

At the same time, the Deputy Minister of Borders and Tribal Affairs in Kabul said that this issue was resolved last night.

Mohammad Ismail Ghaznawi, Deputy Minister of Borders and Tribal Affairs, said: "The incident that took place in the Zazai Maidan district of Khost was resolved last night at 10:30PM."

Although officials have not provided new details regarding the clashes and casualties in the Zazai Maidan district of Khost, the Ministry of Defense has said that while building a security outpost by the Islamic Emirate forces, Pakistani soldiers opened fire, prompting a similar response from the Islamic Emirate forces, leading to a confrontation.

There's no such thing as "Durand line" , it's an international border.
 
Eight Afghan troops killed in border clash


PESHAWAR: A clash between Pakistani security forces and the Afghan Taliban on the border near the Kurram district resulted in the death of eight Afghan soldiers, including two ‘key’ commanders, and injuries to at least 16, Dawn has learnt.

Sources said the Afghan side attacked a Pakistani check post with heavy weapons in the Palosin area on the Pak-Afghan border on Saturday morning.

“We have reports about heavy losses on the other [Afghan] side. So far, eight Afghan Taliban have been killed and 16 others have sustained injuries in retaliatory firing by the Pakistani forces,” sources said, adding two ‘key’ commanders, Khalil and Jan Muhammad, were also killed.

There was no official word from the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) on this incident until going to press.

This is not the first time Afghan troops have opened fire on Pakistani security forces posted at the border, sources said, adding that in the past Pakistan had shared its concerns with Kabul over such incidents. They claimed that the Afghan Taliban, apart from facilitating militant activities inside Pakistan, were now openly attacking the forces along the international border.

Due to the tense security situation, trade between the two countries remained suspended over the weekend. A Dawn correspondent said there was intermittent firing on the border on Sunday as well, but no casualties were reported.

In May this year, the Foreign Office conveyed its concerns to Kabul after a large number of locals were displaced in Kharlachi and sought shelter in safer places in the wake of clashes between Pakistan and Afghanistan.

At the time, tribal elders from Kurram and the Afghan side played a role in defusing the tensions. However, clashes on the border had prompted large-scale displacement from villages and settlements near the Kharlachi border crossing.

FC man martyred

Meanwhile, an FC official was martyred and three personnel sustained injuries in an attack carried out in the Marghan area of the central Kurram on Sunday.

Police sources said militants attacked an FC check post of the Tall Scouts and managed to escape after the ambush. The dead body and injured personnel had been shifted to the hospital.

The amount of tracks on the ground suggests a battlefield in Ukraine than anywhere in khost.

They can't survive, but my point is that there is no evidence that tank is afghan or in Afghanistan.

Agreed

I think indirect evidence is those replacements they are sending

I mean who sends tanks to border skirmishes any way

We sent one to Torkham in 2016, after they assassinated Major Changezi while building the gate inside Pakistan. The rest of the gate was completed when a tank positioned Infront of the construction crews/machinery.

We have also tanks positioned across the border

But for a skirmish, usually gun fire and mortars are used.
Pak has used artillery recently, but using tanks as an immobile firing position against fc won't get them very far
