[KhaamaPress] Heavy fighting
... as opposed to the more usual name-calling or slapsy... erupted along the Pakistain-Afghanistan border ...also known as Pashtunistan, home of ignorance, poverty, and automatic weapons... overnight after both sides forces exchanged artillery fire, mortars and heavy weapons across multiple frontier areas, local residents and security sources said, marking another major escalation in the rapidly worsening standoff between the two neighbors.
The festivities began late Saturday along the disputed border in Afghanistan’s eastern provinces of Paktia and Nangarhar The unfortunate Afghan province located adjacent to Mohmand, Kurram, and Khyber Agencies. The capital is Jalalabad. The province was the fief of Younus Khalis after the Soviets departed and one of his sons is the current provincial Taliban commander. Nangarhar is Haqqani country.. and Pakistain’s Kurram district, with both sides accusing each other of initiating the fighting. Residents said exchanges of heavy gunfire and mortar fire continued until early Sunday morning before subsiding several hours later.
Witnesses in Pakistain’s Kurram district told local media that artillery shells landed near the Kharlachi and Burki border areas, where Pak military positions and nearby civilian locations came under fire. Residents described hours of explosions and heavy weapon fire that forced families to remain indoors as fighting spread across several sections of the frontier.
Pak security sources claimed Taliban ...the once and current oppressors of Afghanistan... fighters fired heavy weapons, mortars and artillery toward Pak military posts and civilian areas across the border. Islamabad said its forces responded by targeting multiple border posts, mortar positions and defensive bunkers with artillery fire.
The Taliban government has not issued an official statement on the latest border festivities, although its front man Zabihullah Mujahid previously condemned Pakistain’s recent Arclight airstrike ...KABOOM!... s as a violation of Afghanistan’s illusory sovereignty and warned that they would deliver an "appropriate response."
ESCALATION FOLLOWS PAK AIRSTRIKES INSIDE AFGHANISTAN
The latest exchange of fire comes days after Pakistain acknowledged carrying out airstrikes on multiple targets inside Afghanistan, saying the operations targeted Lions of Islam responsible for cross-border attacks and drone launches against Pakistain.
Pakistain said it struck 10 locations in the Afghanistan provinces of Kandahar, Paktia and Khost, claiming they were used to launch and store drones targeting Pak territory. Taliban authorities rejected the allegations and said Pak strikes killed four civilians in the latest attacks.
Earlier this week, Pakistain also carried out airstrikes in Kunar and Paktika
...which coincidentally borders North Wazoo and Kurram Agency... provinces, saying they targeted turban hideouts. The United Nations ...an organization which on balance has done more bad than good, with the good not done well and the bad done thoroughly... Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA) confirmed that at least three civilians, a man, a woman and a girl were killed in one of those strikes and called for adherence to international humanitarian law.
The latest artillery exchanges underline the growing risk that localized border violence could evolve into a broader military confrontation between Islamabad and Kabul, threatening security and trade along the nearly 2,600-kilometer frontier.
[Reuters] Afghanistan's defence ministry said on Sunday its forces had killed 28 fighters and wounded 32 in the eastern province of Nuristan after a group it said included Islamic State militants crossed from Pakistan.
The ministry alleged Pakistani militias had supported the fighters and that most of them were former Afghan government security personnel.
Pakistan's information ministry rejected the allegations, describing them in a post on X as "frivolous, baseless and devoid of any truth".
In the same post, it denied that its security forces or intelligence agencies were involved in clashes in Nuristan, had recruited or trained former Afghan security personnel, or had facilitated Islamic State or other militant groups in Afghanistan.
The information ministry on Sunday rejected Afghanistan’s claims of Pak forces’ alleged involvement in any "internal festivities" in the neighbouring country’s Nuristan province.
"The allegations by the Afghan Taliban ...mindless ferocity in a turban... regime linking Pakistain with the alleged violence in Nuristan are frivolous, baseless and devoid of any truth," the information ministry’s "fact-check" account on X said.
It added: "Pakistain categorically rejects the fabricated claims of involvement by its security forces or intelligence agencies in any internal festivities in Nuristan or elsewhere in Afghanistan, including allegations of recruiting or training former Afghan security personnel or facilitating ISIS or any other terrorist group operating in Afghanistan."
The information ministry’s statement came after Afghanistan’s defence ministry alleged that Pakistain-backed individuals had crossed the border and were involved in the reported violence.
The information ministry pointed out that "not a shred of evidence has been produced to substantiate Pakistain’s involvement; no identities, documents, communications, forensic evidence or independent verification".
It further noted that an alleged video "being peddled on social media to support this false claim only shows a few unarmed individuals who are not even properly dressed or equipped were arrested in what seems to be a pre-planned video shoot by Afghan Taliban regime, well known for lies and fabricated claims".
"Instead of externalising responsibility for its internal security challenges through fanciful allegations, the Afghan Taliban regime should take credible and verifiable action against terrorist organizations operating from its territory and fulfil its commitments that Afghan soil will not be used for terrorism against Pakistain or any other country."
The statement further said it was "particularly ironic for the Afghan Taliban regime to accuse Pakistain of supporting terrorism while terrorist organizations operating from Afghanistan continue to pose a direct threat to Pakistain and regional security".
The ministry highlighted that the presence and activities of "terrorist groups of all types inside Afghanistan are well documented", including in successive reports of the United Nations ...boodling on the grand scale... and other neutral international organizations.
"Attempts to manufacture a Pak connection cannot obscure the reality that these terrorist groups continue to find sanctuary and [a] permissive environment for growth in Afghan territory," it asserted.
"Such claims by this non-inclusive, non-representative Taliban regime are also reflective of lies to externalise internal dissent and oppression of women, children and minorities," the ministry said.
Islamabad has repeatedly urged the Taliban administration in Kabul to dismantle terrorist sanctuaries on Afghan soil, particularly those linked to the banned Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistain (TTP), that are used for attacks in Pakistain. Officials say those appeals have gone unheeded.
According to a UN Security Council-mandated monitoring report — covering the period from Dec 16, 2025 to June 9, 2026 — Afghan Taliban’s continued support for TTP has contributed to a rise in the frequency and lethality of terrorist attacks in Pakistain, even as Kabul has taken some initial steps to rein in the group.
The report also pointed to growing operational and facilitation linkages among the TTP, Al Qaeda, Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear western pols talk they're not really Moslems.... -Khorasan (ISIS-K) and the Baloch Liberation Army (BLA).
PAK-AFGHAN TENSIONS
Ties between the two neighbours have been strained in the past few years as Islamabad continues to voice its concern over cross-border terrorism. Meanwhile,
...back at the pond, the enormous newt was trying to decide if Gloria was edible... September witnessed another bout of conflict between Pakistain and Afghanistan.
On Sept 21, in response to recent major terrorist attacks in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistain conducted "calibrated" Arclight airstrike ...KABOOM!... s in the border region with Afghanistan against terrorist hideouts, with the government saying more than 28 bad boyz were potted.
Information Minister Attaullah Tarar described the action as part of Operation Ghazab lil Haq, which was launched on the night of Feb 26 in response to unprovoked cross-border firing by the Afghan Taliban.
Days later, Pakistain shot down eight drones launched from across the border that had entered Pak airspace near the Torkham border and Kohat. It was also reported that the Afghan Taliban engaged in unprovoked firing the night before near Kurram as security forces foiled an attempt by Death Eaters to cross into Pakistain.
In retaliation to the drone incursion, Pakistain conducted "precision aerial and dronezaps" in 10 locations across Afghanistan.
On Sunday, the Foreign Office (FO) said a demarche was also delivered to the Afghan side on account air space violation by drones on Sept 23.
The demarche was delivered on Sept 26, the FO spokesperson said in a statement.
On Friday, the information ministry had also dismissed claims by the Afghan defence ministry of a Pak post having been destroyed near the Spin Boldak border — the frontier between Balochistan ...the Pak province bordering Kandahar and Uruzgun provinces in Afghanistan and Sistan Baluchistan in Iran. Its native Baloch propulation is being displaced by Pashtuns and Punjabis and they aren't happy about it... and Kandahar.
[ShabelleMedia] Somali government forces have carried out a security operation in areas between Sabiid, Caanoole and Bariire in the Lower Shabelle region, according to the Somali military.
The operation was conducted by the army’s 27th and 17th ground force brigades as part of efforts to strengthen security and protect civilians in the area.
The military said its forces thwarted attempts by al-Shabaab ... the Islamic version of the old Somali warlord... gunnies to target local communities, particularly farmers living in the affected areas. The group was accused of attempting to extort money from farmers through clandestine operations.
Troops also conducted searches for landmines along roads linking the areas covered by the operation, the military said, as part of efforts to prevent attacks involving explosives planted by al-Shabaab.
The army said the explosive-clearance operations were intended to reduce the risks faced by civilians using roads in the area, where landmines and improvised bombs pose a persistent security threat.
The Somali military said its forces would continue security operations aimed at protecting civilians and preventing attacks by al-Shabaab.
The operation comes as Somali forces continue military campaigns against al-Shabaab in central and southern Somalia, with government troops seeking to maintain pressure on the group and secure areas recovered during previous offensives.
Troops of Sector 2, Operation FANSAN YAMMA, have foiled an attempted abduction and rescued six members of a family in Tsafe Local Government Area of Zamfara State.
Security sources told Zagazola Makama that the troops responded swiftly to actionable intelligence on an ongoing attack by armed terrorists targeting the family.
The troops immediately mobilised to the location and engaged the terrorists with superior firepower, forcing them to abandon their mission and flee the area.
The intervention enabled the troops to safely rescue all six victims unharmed.
The rescued family members were relocated to a secure facility for preliminary assessment and care, while arrangements are underway to reunite them safely with their relatives.
The operation highlights the continued efforts by troops of Operation FANSAN YAMMA to respond to distress calls and prevent terrorists and other criminal elements from abducting innocent residents in the North-West.

[Regnum] Saudi Arabian airstrikes on a market in Taiz province in southwestern Yemen killed at least seven people, the Health Ministry, controlled by the Shiite Ansar Allah (Houthi) movement, reported on September 27.
There are also casualties. According to the ministry, 40 people were injured, including five children. The Ministry of Health clarified that the bombing targeted retail premises in a market in the Al-Taiziyah district, as well as the premises of a local radio station.
The strikes came the day after the Saudi Arabian capital, Riyadh, was again attacked by Yemen's Houthi rebels. Meanwhile, air raid sirens are being issued almost daily in one or more regions of the kingdom.
The armed conflict between the Houthis and Saudi-backed government forces in Yemen has been ongoing since August 2014. On July 13, Yemeni Houthis attacked the international airport in Abha in retaliation for a Saudi air strike on Sana'a Airport. This violated the ceasefire between the Saudis and the Iran-backed Houthis, which had been in effect since 2022. A week later, Yemeni Houthis announced the beginning of a naval blockade against Saudi Arabia. In their statement, they warned that they reserved the right to a comprehensive escalation in response to Riyadh's actions.

[Regnum] British counterterrorism police are investigating possible links between Iran and the alleged plot to carry out a terrorist attack near Fairford Air Force Base in Gloucestershire, which is used by the US Air Force. This was reported on September 27 by The Telegraph.
According to sources familiar with the investigation, several possible motives are being considered, including an "Iranian connection," an "Islamist plot," and a sabotage operation. However, the Iranian-related theory is considered the most likely, as the airbase was used by the US military for strikes against Iran during the ongoing conflict.
Police received a report of three suspicious vehicles heading toward the airbase at approximately 12:45 a.m. on September 27. Armed officers arrived on scene and detained five men near the village of Welford. They were initially suspected of violating the Explosives Act and later additionally detained on suspicion of plotting a terrorist attack.
Following the incident, residents of several houses in the village were evacuated. A state of emergency was declared in the area around the airbase. Army explosive ordnance disposal specialists inspected several vehicles.
US President Donald Trump later told reporters that those detained near the airbase intended to cause serious damage to a US port. According to the head of the White House, US intelligence agencies had been monitoring the suspects for a long time and were investigating them. The US President also stated that cooperation with British authorities and law enforcement was outstanding, and the arrest was excellent.
Since the beginning of the conflict in Iran, the US military has used the British base to conduct strikes against targets in the Islamic Republic. The airbase houses the headquarters of the US 501st Combat Support Wing and the 420th Airlift Squadron.
[NYPost] The suspected terror plot to attack a British base that is used by US bombers was potentially foiled by a nosy farmer in the local village who saw masked men in vans acting suspiciously and called the cops, according to a report.
The three vans were spotted en route to RAF Fairford in southwest England early on Sunday by a resident from the nearby village of Whelford, Gloucestershire — population 178, a local told the UK Sun.
The unidentified farmer, who lives on the edge of the airbase, was returning from a party in the early hours when she came across three seemingly abandoned white vans blocking a quiet country lane, the Telegraph reported.
The vans appeared suspicious, with an apparently fake phone number one digit too short and lettering on the back advertising a fake company called “FUEL 2YOU,” the outlet reported.
As she turned her car around to go back, she suddenly saw a group of men wearing ski masks scattering into the trees and across fields towards the base.
“I just thought what the hell are they doing… I saw a group of Middle Eastern-looking young guys running off through the trees. Some of them had masks or balaclavas on, and they all scattered ahead of us as we drove back past,” she told the Telegraph.
“Some of them ran into the fields, and some of them turned to run towards the air base. We realised this was something pretty serious. We knew the air base had a credible threat of a terrorist attack before last night. So as soon as I saw them I was worried,” the farmer continued.
The farmer drove away and called the police, while also messaging a local WhatsApp group warning people to lock their doors as armed cops descended on the sleepy village some 90 miles from London.
Within 25 minutes, the men had been arrested, with dramatic video showing five shirtless terror suspects sitting on the ground in handcuffs surrounded by armed counter-terror cops.
A total of 85 homes within a 400-yard radius of the base were evacuated on Sunday as cops investigated the shocking incident.
British authorities are reportedly treating the foiled terror plot as a suspected Iranian-backed plan to kill American service members on the base — which is used as a launching pad for US air strikes on Iran.
The five men were taken into custody on suspicion of preparing a terrorist act.
The farmer said security appeared to have been stepped up at the base in the past week.
“We thought something was going on as they had housed B1 bombers at the base until earlier this week when they were moved. And then suddenly they started blocking entrances to the air base,” she said.
“By Friday they had sent all their civilian staff home, and then because this is a small village, we started noticing people who weren’t local and the suspicion was they were plain clothes police of some kind. We all knew something unusual was going on,” the farmer added.
Another local in the village was stopped at gunpoint at a roadblock by a group of American soldiers on Saturday evening, according to the farmer.
“They made them all put their hands out of the car, identify themselves, and then ultimately made them turn them round and would let them drive home that way. So we obviously knew they were pretty worried about something,” she said.

FAIRFORD, England, Sept 28 (Reuters) - British police said on Monday they were investigating whether individuals acting for a foreign state were involved in an apparent plot to attack an airbase used by the United States but said five suspects they had arrested would be released.
The five men, all British nationals from London in their early 20s, were detained early on Sunday after police were alerted to three white vans driving towards RAF Fairford, a British base that houses US bombers that fly missions against Iran.
Iran's Revolutionary Guards said in July the base was a legitimate target.
Laurence Taylor, who heads Britain's counter terrorism police, said the men, who had been arrested on suspicion of explosives offences and planning a terrorist act, would be released under stringent bail conditions later on Monday.
Iran's embassy in London had earlier said in a statement it "categorically rejects and strongly condemns the recent unfounded and malicious speculations" that it was involved, which it said would fuel "Iranophobia propaganda" in Britain.
Taylor, who did not specifically refer to Iran, said he knew there was significant interest in whether the current geopolitical context had a bearing on this incident.
"Be assured, we are considering this from every possible angle, including that this may be actively committed by proxies or individuals either knowingly or unknowingly working on behalf of a foreign state."
[Dawn] • Peace force member martyred, three injured; seven ‘terrorists’ arrested
• Tribal leader shot dead in Khuzdar; Bizenjo’s residence attacked
At least eight suspected bad boyz were potted in a clash with the Bugti Peace Force, a pro-government tribal militia, in the Loti area of Dera Bugti district
…in Balochistan province…
on Saturday, according to police officials.
A policeman who was part of the peace force was martyred and three other members were maimed during the clash.
Separately, a tribal leader was killed in the Naal area of Khuzdar and firing was also reported at the residence of Sardar Aslam Bizenjo, a central leader of the National Party, in the same area.
Police officials said that following the clash, the peace force arrested seven suspected forces of Evil who allegedly belonged to a banned outfit.
Sources said gunnies attacked the residence of Dera Bugti District Council Chairman Ghulam Nabi Shambani and a gas company camp in the Loti area of Dera Bugti district with heavy weapons in the early hours of Saturday.
The Bugti Peace Force personnel, who were deployed for the protection of the district council chairman and the gas company camp, took positions and returned fire.
An exchange of fire continued for over an hour, during which heavy weapons, including rockets, were used by both sides. Some attackers were killed in the exchange of fire.
Sources said that after the heavy exchange of fire, some attackers beat feet from the site. However,
you can observe a lot just by watching... they returned later in the day and again attacked the residence of the Dera Bugti district council chairman, who is close to Balochistan ...the Pak province bordering Kandahar and Uruzgun provinces in Afghanistan and Sistan Baluchistan in Iran. Its native Baloch propulation is being displaced by Pashtuns and Punjabis and they aren't happy about it... Chief Minister Sarfraz Bugti.
The sources added that eight attackers were killed in the exchange of fire while seven others were arrested by the peace force. Their bodies were shifted to Loti hospital.
"A member of the peace force identified as Fazal Khan lost his life as he suffered multiple bullet injuries," a police official said.
"Three other members of the peace force, who were maimed in the clash, were shifted to a hospital," he added.
The official said further action and investigation into the incident were underway.
TRIBAL LEADER SHOT DEAD Meanwhile,
...back at the desert island, Irene was indignant at the thought of doing such a thing without benefit of clergy... a tribal leader, Sardar Ghulam Nabi Siyahpad, was bumped off by unidentified attackers in the Naal area of Khuzdar district.
Police officials said the attackers, riding cycle of violences, opened fire on the tribal leader while he was sitting outside his house in the evening.
He sustained multiple bullet wounds and died at the spot, while the attackers fled.
In a separate incident, faceless myrmidonsshot up the residence of National Party central leader and former provincial minister Sardar Muhammad Aslam Bizenjo in Naal town, injuring one of his security guards.
"Sardar Bizenjo was not present in the house at the time," a police officer said.
Police launched investigations into the incidents. No group has so far grabbed credit for either attack.
The National Party’s Khuzdar district chapter condemned the firing on Sardar Bizenjo’s residence and demanded an immediate, transparent and impartial investigation.
In a statement, the party’s district spokesperson said targeting the residence of a political and tribal leader was a matter of concern and urged the authorities to ensure effective security for Mr Bizenjo, his family and residence.
The National Party expressed solidarity with Mr Bizenjo and his family and prayed for the early recovery of the injured security guard.
[Dawn] Terrorists allegedly took 13 people hostage on Friday as they were moving to a safer location due to the ongoing tensions between a local peace committee, police and holy warriors in the mountainous Hathikhel area of Wazir subdivision, local sources said.
According to sources, the people were stopped while they were transporting their belongings in vehicles to leave the area.
The hostages were identified as four brothers, Rehmanullah, Farmanullah, Laiq and Sadiq; Mir Ali, Mohammad Raziq, Azim Khan and three brothers, including Sameen, Hamidullah and Rakhidullah. Three other individuals could not be identified.
Police have not issued an official statement regarding the incident. However,
we can't all be heroes. Somebody has to sit on the curb and applaud when they go by... police sources confirmed the incident.
Meanwhile,
...back at the chili cook-off, Chuck and Manuel's rivalry was entering a new and more dangerous phase... a photograph purportedly showing the alleged hostages has also circulated on social media.
The photograph also appears to show Nasir alias Gidarh, a local commander of the banned Tehrik-e-Taliban ...Arabic for students... Pakistain. The photograph and the identities of those shown in it could not be independently verified.
Local sources said bully boyz were allegedly trying to prevent residents from leaving the area and had imposed certain restrictions on those seeking to relocate.
According to the sources, some families who failed to comply with the conditions allegedly had their houses demolished. These claims, however, could not be officially confirmed.
The deteriorating security situation in Hathikhel and adjoining mountainous areas has continued to cause difficulties for residents, with several families reportedly moving to safer locations.
[Dawn] More than 71 bad boyz were potted in Shaban and other areas of Balochistan ...the Pak province bordering Kandahar and Uruzgun provinces in Afghanistan and Sistan Baluchistan in Iran. Its native Baloch propulation is being displaced by Pashtuns and Punjabis and they aren't happy about it... in the last 96 hours, the military’s media affairs wing said on Sunday.
In a statement, Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) recalled that based on credible intelligence, security forces had launched a "swift operation against the Death Eaters in Ziarat and surrounding areas" on Sept 21.
"As the Pakistain Army’s operation progresses, more than 71 Death Eaters have been killed so far in Operation Shaban and other areas of Balochistan in [the] last 96 hours, delivering a serious blow to Indian-backed Afghan proxies," the statement said.
…or possibly not Indian-backed, merely local. But Pakistan needs to believe malevolent hidden hands are everywhere.
ISPR noted that Pakistain’s intelligence agencies had identified "multiple hideouts of Indian-sponsored Fitna al Khawarij and Fitna al Hindustan in the general area of Shaban, District Quetta, posing a threat to the local population".
The state uses the term Fitna al Khawarij for the banned Tehrik-e-Taliban ...Arabic for students... Pakistain (TTP) and refers to designated Balochistan-based groups as Fitna al Hindustan to highlight India’s role in terrorism and destabilisation across Pakistain.
During the operation in Shaban, security forces engaged the Death Eaters and cleared multiple hideouts, ISPR said. Following intense exchanges of fire, 33 "Indian-sponsored terrorists" were killed, with weapons, ammunition and explosives also recovered.
Over the last 72 hours, the operation was intensified, resulting in the killing of 23 terrorists, the statement added.
"Security forces have cleared a vast area and relieved local communities of the threat posed by Fitna al Khawarij and Fitna al Hindustan. The clearance operation is continuing until complete neutralisation of the threat," ISPR stated.
The number of Death Eaters killed in the Shaban operation had reached 13 on Sept 23, and then increased to 22 the next day.
ISPR then recalled that 11 "Indian-sponsored terrorists" were killed in a separate intelligence-based operation (IBO) in Noshki on Sept 25 (Friday).
Another six "Fitna al Hindustan terrorists" were neutralised in Mand, with a large quantity of weapons and ammunition recovered, according to ISPR.
The statement highlighted that the "Afghan Taliban regime’s involvement in terrorism activities in Pakistain, backed and sponsored by India, continues to cause loss of precious lives and threaten peace and stability".
The counter-terrorism campaign under the vision of "Azm-e-Istehkam", approved by the Federal Apex Committee on the National Action Plan, will continue with full resolve, ISPR declared.
"Security forces and law enforcement agencies remain committed to eliminating foreign-sponsored and supported terrorism from the country," it reaffirmed.
According to earlier ISPR statements, six Death Eaters had been killed during "pre-emptive" IBOs in Kech and Quetta West on Sept 22 and 23.
Balochistan has witnessed an increase in terrorist attacks in recent weeks, prompting security forces to intensify counter-terrorism operations.
The number of terrorist attacks in the province increased by seven per cent from 83 in July to 89 in August, according to a monthly assessment by the Pakistain Institute for Conflict and Security Studies.
’TERRORISM UNDER FOREIGN PATRONAGE’
President Asif Ali Ten Percent Zardari
...former president of Pakistain, husband of the late Benazir Bhutto, who has been singularly lacking in curiosity about who done her in... commended the security forces for their successful operations against Death Eaters of Fitna al Khawarij and Fitna al Hindustan in Balochistan.
In a statement issued by the Presidency, he termed the clearance of numerous terrorist hideouts in the province a major success for the security forces.
President Zardari emphasised that operations would continue until the complete eradication of terrorism "fueled by foreign patronage and assistance".
"The sacrifices and services of our security forces in the fight against terrorism are a source of pride for the entire nation," the president added.
Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif also paid tribute to the security forces and said Pakistain was determined to completely eliminate terrorism being carried out on its soil with foreign support, according to state-owned Radio Pakistain.
Lauding the security forces’ professional skills, Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi noted that "nefarious designs" of Death Eaters had been thwarted.
"The brave soldiers of the security forces are a proud asset of the nation," he said in a statement, adding that operations will continue till the eradication of Fitna al Khawarij and Fitna al Hindustan terrorists.
[Rudaw] Two button men wearing explosive vests were killed during an armed clash with Iraqi counterterrorism forces in Kirkuk province on Sunday, while another was arrested, according to Iraqi security authorities. Two Iraqi security members were maimed in addition to one civilian death.
ICTS engaged in the festivities in Pirde town that involved "three holy warriors from the remnant of the ISIS terrorist gangs," the anti-terror agency said in a statement. Two button men were killed and a third was arrested, it said.
"The operation was conducted under judicial warrants as part of our service’s ongoing security and intelligence efforts to pursue the remnants of terrorist gangs," said ICTS.
The third member was the driver, according to Saad Maan, head of the Security Media Cell. The button men were "pursuing a specific target" but their operation was thwarted. Maad didn’t disclose the target for security reasons.
Two members of ICTS were maimed during the engagement, he said.
Rudaw’s news hound on the ground, Hardi Mohammed, said a civilian teenager who worked at a corner shop where the two snuffies took shelter was killed.
Despite suffering territorial defeat in late 2017, ISIS has maintained sleeper cells that have engaged in launch hit-and-run attacks and kidnapped civilians for ransom money. It is primarily active in the disputed territories between the Kurdistan Region and federal Iraq.
In mid-September, the Iraqi Media Security Cell announced the arrest of one of the "most wanted terrorist individuals" known by the nom de guerre Abu Sahir in Kirkuk.
Earlier in the month, Arclight airstrike ...KABOOM!... s by the Iraqi airforce killed another two ISIS members south of the province.
Baghdad and Erbil have expanded their security cooperation to track down ISIS suspects hiding in the Kurdistan Region.
On September 13, the Region’s security forces (Asayish) announced the arrest of 22 ISIS suspects in Sulaimani and Halabja provinces.
[HonestReporting] Three more Palestinian Islamic Jihad child soldiers, aged 16 and 17, have been identified in newly released martyr posters, bringing the number of confirmed minors deployed by Gaza terrorist groups during the October 7 War to 26.
Three more child soldiers were announced by the terrorist organization Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) in a Friday tranche of October 7 War martyr posters.
16-year-old Abdul Fattah Atef Fanana was announced as a member of the Gaza Brigade’s Al-Tuffah and Al-Daraj Battalion. 16-year-old Samih Firas Al-Dahdar and 17-year-old Matar Zakaria Al-Batsh were in the same Al-Quds Brigade unit as Fanana.
All three teenagers were confirmed by HonestReporting by cross-referencing Hamas Health Ministry casualty data with the posters and the social media accounts of the child soldiers and their families.
The three join 23 other October 7 War child soldiers confirmed by HonestReporting, bringing the total confirmed minors deployed by Hamas, PIJ, and the Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine (DFLP) to 26.
The Palestinian child soldier phenomenon during the war has received little to no coverage since evidence of the practice began to grow in July.
[NYPost] Israel’s military and intelligence forces killed the terrorist who kidnapped Noa Argamani and was seen on camera in a terrifying viral video during the Oct. 7, 2023, massacre, officials said Sunday.
Saher Nidal Latfi Sakr cheered as he rode off with a desperately pleading Argamani, in what became one of the most harrowing images of Hamas’ rampage at the Nova Music Festival.
The Israeli Defense Forces’ undercover Gideonim Unit 33 located Sakr in Nuseirat area of Gaza, accusing the man of being “an operative in global Jihad organizations… who provided, among other things, combat means for the Hamas terror organization during the war.”
Sakr allegedly supplied Hamas with weapons and helped the terror group coordinate attacks against troops and Israeli civilians.
He was with Hamas and Palestinian extremist groups during the Oct. 7 invasion, with Sakr joining the terrorists’ assault on the Nova festival, where nearly 380 people were killed.
Argamani was among those kidnapped by the group, with harrowing footage capturing how she desperately yelled for her then-boyfriend, Avinatan Or, as Sakr drove away with her on a motorcycle.
Argamani survived in Hamas imprisonment for eight months before a daring rescue operation pulled her and three other hostages out of a Nuseirat refugee camp, bringing her home to her mother just a month before she died of brain cancer.
Along with Sakr, the IDF and Shin Bet intelligence agency also announced the killing of Muhammad Hamad Muhammad Gabain, a Hamas commander involved in holding nine hostages who were abducted on Oct. 7
Gabain was confirmed to be involved with the captivity of Ziv Berman, Eitan Mor, Liri Albag, Agam Berger, Matan Engerst, Gali Berman, Omri Miran, Keith Siegel, and Alon Ohel, the IDF.
He was operating in northern Gaza when he was taken out by an airstrike in the region targeting Hamas bases and personnel.
The IDF also claimed Gabain was working to coordinate terror attacks against the IDF and Israel and had helped “rehabilitate the capabilities of the Hamas terror organization” during the cease-fire.
“The terrorist was eliminated from the air in order to remove the threat he posed,” the Israeli military said in a statement.
The Times of Israel has video of the kill here. Also video of an unidentified terrorist shepherding a small child carrying a very large gun and acting as a human shield.

IDF and Shin Bet eliminate a Hamas terrorist commander involved in holding movement's hostages
⭕️ Last week (Tuesday), the IDF and Shin Bet operated in northern Gaza Strip, eliminating the terrorist Muhammad Hamad Muhammad Gba'in, a commander in the military wing of the terrorist Hamas movement.
⭕️ Throughout the war period, the terrorist was involved in holding captive Ziv Berman, Eitan Mor, Liri Albag, Agam Berger, Matan Engarst, Gali Berman, Omri Miran, Keith Siegel, and Alon Ohel in the custody of the terrorist Hamas movement.
⭕️ In recent times, the terrorist worked to advance terrorist plots against IDF forces and citizens of the State of Israel, and to rebuild the capabilities of the terrorist Hamas movement, in systematic violation of the ceasefire agreement. He was eliminated from the air in order to remove the threat he posed.
⭕️ Security forces under the Southern Regional Command are deployed in the area in accordance with the agreement and will continue to work to remove every immediate threat.
The IDF says the strike killed Adi Adil Abd al-Aaser, a sniper operative who had been advancing attacks and attempting to restore Hamas capabilities, “in systematic violation of the ceasefire.”

[Regnum] The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Navy intercepted the US Navy's Remus 600 autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) in the Strait of Hormuz. The IRGC press service made this statement on September 27.
This is the second such American drone seized by Iran, the statement said.
The drone, which was conducting reconnaissance, was captured during an operation using electronic warfare equipment and was handed over to specialists for information extraction, the IRGC added.
[North Press] Israeli forces shelled on Sunday evening agricultural land between the villages of Breqa and Kodana in southern Quneitra Governorate, with no casualties reported.
Five artillery shells struck the area near Kodana Dam, according to a North Press correspondent. The shells were fired from Israeli military positions at Tal al-Ahmar to the west, the correspondent said.
No confirmed information was immediately available on casualties or material damage.
The shelling comes amid repeated Israeli military activity in southern Syria, particularly in Quneitra and Daraa governorates, including incursions, searches, arrests, checkpoint construction and artillery fire. Recent reports have documented Israeli shelling and ground movements in several areas of Quneitra.
Breqa and Kodana have previously witnessed Israeli military activity. On Sept. 13, an Israeli military patrol entered the Rasm al-Hayadira area near Kodana, according to the Hawar News Agency, which reported that no casualties or material damage were recorded at the time.
🚨 ISRAEL LAUNCHES WAVE OF HEZBOLLAH AIRSTRIKES ACROSS SOUTHERN LEBANON
Israeli airstrikes hit multiple areas across southern Lebanon, including Khiam, Mays al-Jabal, Ibl al-Saqi, al-Mansouri, Haris and Hadatha.
Two strikes targeted the main Mayfadoun–Choukin road, while another hit infrastructure in Qabrikha. Explosions were also reported in Majdal Zoun and al-Mansouri.
Earlier today, IDF forces struck Hezbollah underground infrastructure at several locations across southern Lebanon, following the launch of an explosive-laden drone into the security zone.
The underground infrastructures were reportedly used to launch explosive drones and… pic.twitter.com/YGuUEMrkLw

[North Press] Syrian Internal Security forces in Daraa Governorate arrested on Sunday Brig. Gen. Jaber Mahrez Ibrahim, a former commander of the 138th Air Defense Brigade, over allegations of torturing child Hamza al-Khatib in Saida town, eastern Daraa countryside.
The Internal Security forces said preliminary investigations showed that Ibrahim was involved in issuing orders for killings and arrests, suppressing protesters, and participating in military campaigns targeting villages and towns in eastern Daraa countryside.
The forces added that the investigations indicated his involvement in the Saida Housing Massacre, which killed about 120 people, and linked him to systematic arrests and torture targeting large numbers of residents of the province, including Hamza al-Khatib.
