Pakistani Forces Repel Terrorist Infiltration Attempt in Kurram

Pakistani security forces successfully repelled an infiltration attempt by Fitna al-Khawarij terrorists on Saturday, inflicting heavy casualties and material losses on the enemy.

The Incident

According to security sources, a group of 20 to 25 terrorists attempted to cross into Pakistan from Kurram and North Waziristan, using check posts controlled by the Afghan Taliban. The infiltration attempt was swiftly countered by Pakistani forces, who launched a timely and decisive response.

Earlier this morning, terrorists aligned with the Afghan Taliban initiated unprovoked heavy weapons fire on Pakistani check posts. In response, Pakistani forces launched a befitting counter-attack, leading to significant losses on the Afghan side.

Heavy Enemy Losses

  • 6 Afghan Taliban check posts abandoned due to effective retaliation and shelling by Pakistani forces.
  • Reports of heavy casualties and material losses among the terrorists and Afghan Taliban supporters.

Pakistani Forces Sustain Minimal Damage

Despite the intense exchange, Pakistani security forces maintained their positions with resilience.

  • No fatalities were reported.
  • Only three injuries were sustained, with the personnel in stable condition.

Pakistan’s Repeated Warnings

Security sources emphasized that Pakistan has repeatedly urged the Afghan interim government to prevent the use of its territory by Fitna al-Khawarij terrorists for cross-border attacks. However, the persistent infiltration attempts indicate a lack of compliance on Afghanistan’s part.

Regional Tensions

This incident underscores the escalating tensions along the Pakistan-Afghanistan border, as terrorist groups exploit Afghan soil to launch operations into Pakistan. It also raises questions about the Afghan interim government’s control over its territory and its commitment to peace in the region.

Conclusion

Pakistan’s security forces have once again demonstrated their vigilance and capability in protecting the nation’s borders. The government has reiterated its demand for Afghanistan to take decisive action against the use of its territory for terrorist activities, as such incidents threaten both regional security and bilateral relations.
