🚨BREAKING - 2nd Update

Afghanistan's defense forces, continuing their retaliatory operations at a rapid pace, once again launched offensive laser-assisted attacks tonight against the humiliated enemy in Nangarhar, Paktia, and Khost provinces, under the 203 Mansoori Army Corps and 201 Khalid bin Walid Corps.

So far, four major outposts have been captured, and dozens of enemy soldiers have been k..illed or wounded. The retaliatory operation is still ongoing with intensity.
The Afghan army is defending within Afghanistan’s borders? That doesn’t sound good, but perhaps I misunderstand.
Tolo News adds:
The Ministry of Defense of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan (MoD) has announced that 32 Pak military regime’s soldiers were killed as a result of last night’s retaliatory attacks by its forces.

According to the ministry, the attacks—carried out by the 203 Mansouri, 201 Silab, and 205 al-Badr Corps, also resulted in the wounding of 10 Pak soldiers and the destruction of four of their outposts.

The deputy spokesperson for the ministry added that two drones of Pakistain’s military regime were also shot down by the forces of the Islamic Emirate.

Sediqullah Nasrat, deputy spokesperson for the Ministry of Defense, said: "The country’s defense forces last night launched offensive operations using laser weapons and advanced equipment against the enemy in the provinces of 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..
, Paktia, Khost, and Kandahar, led by the 203 Mansouri, 201 Khalid bin Walid, and 205 al-Badr Corps."

Security sources also told TOLOnews that Islamic Emirate forces carried out Arclight airstrike
...KABOOM!...
s at around 11 a.m. (Afghanistan time) on an army corps in the city of Quetta. These attacks were conducted in response to last night’s bombardments by Pak forces.

According to these sources, the strikes were carried out in retaliation for the previous night’s bombardments by Pak forces.

Dawood Mirakai, a political analyst, said: "This war has been imposed on us; when war is imposed, we are compelled to act to defend our land, country, and national identity."

The Islamic Emirate further stated that Pakistain’s military regime carried out drone attacks last night on civilian homes in the Ghani Khail district of Nangarhar province. As a result of these attacks, four houses were destroyed, one woman was killed, and two others were maimed.

According to reports by the Islamic Emirate, attacks by Pakistain’s military regime from February 22 until the end of the current month in the provinces of Khost, Paktika
...which coincidentally borders North Wazoo and Kurram Agency...
, Nangarhar, Paktia, Kandahar, and Kunar have resulted in the deaths of 52 civilians and the injury of 66 others, including women and kiddies.
And one little fact from Khaama Press:
According to the ministry, 32 Pakistani soldiers were killed during the operation, reportedly through the use of landmines.
