Pakistan kills 16 fighters amid the boundary tensions in the emerging Afghanistan news

Pakistan says that all fighters were killed overnight in northern Waziristan, while urging the Afghan government to secure its borders.

The Pakistan Army said its forces killed 16 armed fighters along the western border of the country with Afghanistan.

Pakistan “is constantly asking the temporary Afghan government to guarantee the management of effective borders on its side from the border,” according to the army statement on Sunday.

The army said the border forces killed all fighters in a fire exchange during the night between March 22 and 23 in the northern province of Waziristan in the Khyber Bakhtonguh Province.

He added: “Her special forces participated in the effectiveness and thwarting their attempt to infiltrate.” “Pakistan’s security forces are designed and remain committed to securing their borders and eliminating the threat of terrorism from the country.”

A statement from the Embassy of Pakistan in Kabul said that the accident occurred as a special representative in Pakistan to Afghanistan, Sadiq Khan, on a two -day official visit to Kabul to talk about bilateral and economic issues.

Earlier this month, the Pakistani security forces raided two Hideout Used by an armed group in the provinces of Mahamand and Dira Ismail Khan in Khyber Bakhtongua.

Pakistan was once one of the closest Afghan Taliban allies, Pakistan has witnessed relations with its neighbor over the past three years.

Islamabad blames the Taliban rulers in Afghanistan for their failure to reduce the activities of the Taliban Pakistan, or TELANAN Pakistan (TTP), a group that appeared in 2007 and since then hundreds of attacks against the Pakistani security forces.

In 2024 alone, Pakistan witnessed more than 500 attacks, which led to more than 1500 deaths between civilians and law enforcement employees.

The banned TTP is a separate group, but an ally of the Afghan Taliban, who photographed power in the neighboring Afghanistan in August 2021, when the United States and other NATO forces were in the last stages of withdrawing from the country 20 years after the war.

The Pakistani government often accused Afghan citizens of participating in these attacks and claiming that Kabul provides shelter to TTP, a charge of the Afghan Taliban.
