Intense clashes erupted along the Pakistan-Afghanistan border last night after an attack by the Taliban on Pakistani military posts.

This escalation comes after a Pakistani airstrike in Kabul this week, as reported by security officials from both nations. Taliban forces launched armed reprisals against Pakistani troops, alleging that Islamabad had conducted airstrikes on Afghan territory, according to senior Taliban officials.

They claimed to have seized two Pakistani border posts in the southern province of Helmand, which was confirmed by local authorities. Pakistani security officials acknowledged clashes at several border locations, stating they were responding forcefully. On Thursday, two explosions were reported in the Afghan capital and

another in southeastern Afghanistan.
