government's chief front man, Zabihullah Mujahid, said Afghan forces have captured 25 Mighty Pak Army posts, leaving 30 Pak soldiers maimed.
''The situation on all official borders and de facto lines of Afghanistan is under complete control, and illegal activities have been largely prevented,'' Mujahid told a news conference in Kabul.
