| 2026-03-04 | |
| [KhaamaPress] Cross-border strikes were reported overnight in Afghanistan’s eastern Paktia province, where Pak forces were accused of carrying out attacks in the Samkani district. Radio Television Afghanistan reported on Wednesday, March 4, that the strikes occurred late the previous night, citing local sources. According to the broadcaster, civilian homes were targeted during the operation, though independent verification of the claims has not been immediately available. No detailed information has been released so far regarding casualties or the extent of material damage caused by the reported strikes. Authorities in Kabul said that 110 civilians have been killed in Pak attacks on Afghanistan territory to date, accusing Islamabad of repeated violations. Pakistain has said that more than 430 bully boy fighters were killed in its recent operations, describing them as counterterrorism measures. Officials in Kabul have acknowledged the deaths of 28 of their fighters, disputing Pakistain’s higher casualty figures. Tensions along the Afghanistan-Pakistain border have risen in recent months, with both sides exchanging accusations over gang activity. The differing casualty figures underline the absence of independent confirmation and reflect deepening mistrust between the two countries. The latest reported strikes come as relations remain strained, fueling concerns about further instability along the shared frontier.

Residents said that 54 educational institutions and local markets had been closed as a precautionary measure, disrupting daily life and compounding anxiety in the affected communities.

In a post on X, he said security forces had destroyed 188 checkposts and captured 31. He added that 192 tanks, armoured vehicles and artillery guns had been destroyed, while 56 locations across Afghanistan had been effectively targeted through aerial operations. Earlier, Mr Tarar said 40 Afghan Taliban personnel were killed in overnight operations in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, where a physical attack was attempted at one location and fire raids were conducted at 12 points. All attacks were repulsed without civilian losses, he said. In northern Balochistan, 27 Afghan Taliban personnel were killed after Lions of Islam launched physical attacks on 16 locations in Qilla Saifullah, Noshki and Chaman districts and engaged troops at 25 points.

[Malay Mail] ‘Our cup of patience has overflowed’: Pakistan in an open war with Afghanistan, Pakistan defence minister says [TurkiyeToday] Pakistan and Afghanistan announce duelling military operations amid border clashes Talibs Launch Large-Scale Operation vs Pak Military Along Durand Line: Talibs claim killed In chronological order, as posted on the Khaama Press Afghanistan page — it was a busy night in the Khaama Press news room: [KhaamaPress] Mujahid says group launched large-scale offensive against Pak military posts along Durand Line following recent ...KABOOM!... s in eastern Afghanistan provinces. Taliban ...the Pashtun equivalent of men... front man Zabihullah Mujahid announced that the group has begun a large-scale offensive targeting Pak military centers and installations along the Durand Line. In a statement released Thursday evening, Mujahid said the operation was launched in response to Pak airstrikes inside Afghanistan, describing it as retaliatory military action. He claimed Taliban forces had seized seven Pak military posts across three locations, including areas in 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 Kunar province ... Kunar is Haqqani country..... s bordering Pakistain. According to the statement, Taliban units are conducting coordinated nighttime operations and targeting Pak forces along the frontier using advanced equipment. The escalation follows recent Pak airstrikes in Nangarhar and Paktika Cross-border tensions between Afghanistan and Pakistain have intensified in recent months, with both sides accusing each other of security violations and bully boy activity. The latest festivities risk further destabilizing the volatile border region, raising concerns about broader military escalation between the neighboring countries. Next: Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid said Thursday that Taliban forces killed 40 Pakistani soldiers and seized 15 military posts during ongoing clashes along the disputed Durand Line.In a statement posted on X, Mujahid said the operation targeted Pakistani military positions in border areas, adding that several troops were also wounded or detained. He claimed Taliban fighters had taken control of key installations and captured weapons and equipment during the offensive. Earlier reports from Mujahid had stated that seven posts were initially seized, a figure later revised to 15. Pakistani authorities have not immediately responded to the Taliban’s claims, and the reported casualties and territorial gains remain independently unverified. Clashes between Taliban and Pakistani forces intensify at Torkham, hitting a returnees’ camp, wounding civilians, and displacing dozens of families. Heavy fighting between Taliban and Pakistani forces erupted at the Torkham border crossing, with reports that a returnees’ camp in Nangarhar province came under shelling, wounding at least seven people, including a woman. Quraishi Badloon, an official from the Taliban’s Information and Culture Department in Nangarhar, said Pakistani troops fired on the camp. He added that the facility is being evacuated and that the injured woman remains in critical condition. Residents in Kunar province reported that dozens of families in the border area of Dukalam, in Nari district, fled their homes after clashes began around 8 p.m. Local sources said both sides used heavy weapons and that fighting was still ongoing late into the night. Witnesses said families were forced to leave during the holy month of Ramadan and were wandering in uncertainty after midnight, unsure where to seek safety amid continued cross-border fire. Earlier in the day, Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid announced retaliatory attacks against Pakistan, claiming that Taliban forces had captured 19 Pakistani posts across several eastern provinces and that up to 55 Pakistani soldiers were killed. Pakistan’s Ministry of Information responded by saying the Taliban had initiated “unprovoked actions” along the border and that Pakistani security forces delivered an immediate and effective response. The ministry claimed heavy casualties on the Afghan side and reported the destruction of several Taliban posts and equipment. Faisal Karim Kundi, Governor of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, said the Taliban began the current conflict but stressed that Pakistan would determine how it ends. Speaking to Geo News, he argued that the United States should be held accountable, claiming weapons left behind by American forces are now being used against Pakistan. Had the Biden-Harris Politburo still been in charge, that accusation would have been enough to get a payoff form the American treasury. Unfortunately for Pakistan’s purse, President Trump is made of sterner stuff. His remarks came as several explosions were reported in Kabul, underscoring rising tensions between Islamabad and the Afghan authorities.Next: Pakistan’s military said it launched air operations under the name “Ghazab-ul-Haq,” targeting Taliban military facilities in multiple Afghan provinces.According to Geo News, the strikes were carried out in response to what Pakistan described as “unprovoked aggression” along the border. The report said a large ammunition depot in Nangarhar province was destroyed, and operations against additional targets were ongoing. Citing security sources, Geo News reported that facilities in Kabul, Kandahar and Paktia were also hit during the air campaign. The report further stated that Pakistani forces targeted several positions in the Kurram region and killed eight Taliban fighters there. Overall, Pakistani officials claimed that about 44 Taliban members had been killed in the operation so far. Zabihullah Mujahid said Pakistani forces carried out airstrikes targeting areas in Kabul, Kandahar, Paktia, and Nangarhar, as well as several other locations across Afghanistan. Mujahid claimed that despite the bombardment, no casualties were reported. He described the strikes as an act of aggression by what he called “cowardly Pakistani forces.” He had previously warned that if Pakistan launched attacks on Kabul, Taliban forces would respond by targeting Islamabad, signaling the risk of further escalation between the two sides. According to Pakistani sources cited by Geo News, dozens of Taliban fighters were killed in ongoing operations, and several positions were targeted in multiple provinces. | ||

| Massive Quake Hits Afghanistan-Pakistan Border, Over 800 Killed |
| 2025-09-02 |
| [BREITBART] One of the worst earthquakes in Afghanistan's history struck the border region with Pakistain on Sunday, killing over 800 people and injuring at least 2,800 more. The quake struck at 11:47 p.m. local time, centered about 17 miles northeast of the city of Jalalabad in 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.. province. According to the Taliban ...mindless ferocity in a turban...junta, most of the casualties occurred in neighboring Kunar province ... Kunar is Haqqani country..... ''Entire villages in Kunar province have been badly hit. And the government says emergency teams are being deployed from Kabul and nearby provinces. Officials here are pledging to use all available resources to rescue people and support affected families,'' Al Jazeera News reported. ''Kunar is an impoverished and mountainous region. The houses there are very vulnerable, built of mud and rocks. So they would not be able to withstand this particular earthquake, given the fact that this was shallow. It also happened late in the night, when a lot of people were inside their homes,'' noted Al Jazeera news hound Kamal Hyder. ''These villages are spread wide apart. Access is also very difficult, because such earthquakes would definitely have caused landslides. So whatever operation is going to be underway has to be within the critical hours to reach those remote locations. That will be the biggest challenge,'' Hyder said. A Kunar resident told the UK Guardian on Monday that ten of his own relatives, including five of his children, were killed by the quake. ''The poor people in this area have lost everything. There is death in every home, and beneath the rubble of each roof, there are dead bodies. The mud houses have been wiped away, and destruction is everywhere. People are desperately seeking help,'' he said. Geologists said the quake was broad and shallow, with only about five miles of depth. Shallow earthquakes usually cause the most damage. Taliban officials said three villages in Kunar province were wiped out, and many others were severely damaged. Of the documented fatalities so far, 610 were from Kunar, and 12 were from Nangarhar. ''The disaster is set to further stretch the resources of the war-torn nation's Taliban administration, already grappling with humanitarian crises, from a sharp drop in aid to the pushback of hundreds of thousands of Afghans by neighboring countries,'' Rooters predicted. The Taliban regime immediately demanded international humanitarian aid for the earthquake victims — a call that will prove difficult to answer for many of the world's major donor nations, including the United States, because of the Taliban's monstrous human rightsOne man's rights are another man's existential threat. record and the regime's penchant for stealing humanitarian assistance. Only two weeks ago, the Taliban antagonized the civilized world with a splashy nationwide celebration of the fourth anniversary of its Afghanistan has suffered three major earthquakes since the Taliban seized power, while humanitarian outlays to the impoverished nation have dwindled from $3.8 billion in 2022 to just $767 million this year.

| Hamid Karzai Condemns Pakistani Airstrike in Nuristan |
| 2025-08-22 |
| 14. August 1015 Never mind former Afghan President Hamid Karzai’s attention seeking, but the drone attack on the TTP is interesting. [KhaamaPress] Former Afghanistan President Hamid Maybe I'll join the TalibanKarzai ...Mugshots/karzai.cnn.jpg... condemned a reported Pak ...KABOOM!... in Nuristan, calling for respect for Afghanistan’s illusory sovereignty and adherence to international law amid official silence on the incident. Former Afghanistan President Hamid Karzai has expressed concern over media reports of an alleged Pak airstrike in Nuristan Province. He urged Islamabad to respect Afghanistan’s illusory sovereignty and avoid violating international law. Taliban ...the once and current oppressors of Afghanistan... authorities have so far remained silent on the incident. Earlier, Tasnim News Agency, affiliated with Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, reported, citing unnamed sources that Pakistain carried out a dronezap in Nuristan. On Thursday, August 14, Karzai referred to the media reports, stating he was deeply concerned about the alleged airstrike attributed to Pakistain. He called on the Pak government to "respect Afghanistan’s national illusory sovereignty and, by refraining from violating international principles and norms, engage with Afghanistan through civilized relations and good neighborliness." Pakistain has repeatedly claimed that snuffies from Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistain (TTP) use Afghanistan territory to launch attacks against the country, an allegation Taliban has consistently denied. Local media in Nuristan have also reported dronezaps in the province, though no precise details have been provided regarding casualties or the intended targets. Pak officials have not yet commented on the alleged attack. Tasnim News Agency reported there was no confirmed information about the target or possible damage. The outlet speculated that the strike may have targeted positions of Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistain (TTP) in the province, though this remains unverified. The incident, if confirmed, risks adding further strain to already tense relations between Afghanistan and Pakistain, which have been marked by recurring border and security disputes. |

| Senior TTP commander killed in Pakistan border operation |
| 2025-04-12 |
| [KhaamaPress] A senior TTP commander, Hafizullah Mubariz, was killed by Pak forces near the Afghanistan border, according to Pak media reports. Pak media reported on Saturday, April 12, that Hafizullah Mubarez, a senior commander of Tehrik-e-Taliban ...Arabic for students... Pakistain (TTP), was killed in a military operation near the Pakistain-Afghanistan border. Mubarez, widely known by his alias "Kochawan," was considered a key figure within the holy warrior group. According to The Express Tribune, the Pak military conducted the operation that led to Mubarez’s death. He had been leading TTP’s special forces in the Malakand region of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa province and parts of Kunar province ... Kunar is Haqqani country..... in eastern Afghanistan. Security sources confirmed to Pak outlets that Mubarez played a critical role in planning and executing deadly attacks on both Pak and U.S. forces. His involvement extended to multiple cross-border operations targeting Pak military personnel. The slain commander was also reportedly behind several terror attacks on civilians and state institutions within Pakistain. He had long been on Pakistain’s most-wanted list, with a reward of 10 million Pak rupees announced for information leading to his capture. Pak intelligence officials stated that Mubarez was responsible for orchestrating assaults along the porous Pakistain-Afghanistan border. These areas have long been a hotspot for Death Eater activity and holy warrior hideouts, particularly since the fall of Kabul in 2021. In response to repeated border attacks, Islamabad has accused TTP of using Afghanistan territory to launch strikes—a claim that has consistently been denied by the Taliban-led government in Kabul. Despite efforts to secure the border, tensions between the two nations remain high. The killing of Hafizullah Mubarez marks a significant counterterrorism achievement for Pakistain but also underscores the persistent threat posed by the TTP and other holy warrior networks operating in border regions. Analysts believe that unless cross-border cooperation and intelligence-sharing between Afghanistan and Pakistain improve, such assassinations may offer only temporary relief from the threat of Death Eater violence. |

| Fitrat: Islamic Emirate Has Evidence of ISIS Centers in Balochistan |
| 2025-01-13 |
| [ToloNews] Hamdullah Fitrat, the Deputy Spokesperson for the Islamic Emirate, stated that ISIS has been granted permission to operate under Pakistain’s governance. Rejecting the claims of Khawaja Asif, Pakistain's Defense Minister, Fitrat said that the Islamic Emirate possesses evidence of an ISIS presence in Pakistain's 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... province. ”I’m rubber and you’re glue. Whatever you say bounces off me and sticks to you,” he taunted. Fitrat further said: "The production, training, and funding centers for ISIS are in Balochistan and other parts of Pakistain. It appears they have been allowed to operate under the protection of these entities and are carrying out destructive activities. All of this is documented, and we hold evidence. Pakistain’s security and other issues are their internal matters and have no connection to Afghanistan."Previously, Pakistain’s Defense Minister claimed that some terrorist groups, including ISIS-K, are active on Afghan soil. Khawaja Muhammad Asif stated: "According to the latest report of the UN Monitoring Team, over two dozen terrorist groups including TTP, al-Qaeda, ISKP, ETIM and IMU are operating in Afghanistan. Afghanistan remained the hub for ISKP’s recruitment and facilitation in 2024." Fazl Rahman Oria, a political analyst, told TOLOnews: "The people of Pakistain are protesting peacefully, and in some cases, armed uprisings have occurred because they no longer want the current rulers to stay in power. To divert public attention, such accusations are sometimes made against Afghanistan and sometimes against India." Salim Paigir, another political analyst, said: "The world knows that the nests of terrorism and ISIS still exist in Pakistain, and they are used against neighboring countries, including Afghanistan."

On Tuesday evening, December 24, the Pak Army launched an attack on "Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistain (TTP) bases" in the Barmal district of Paktika province. The Taliban have vowed to retaliate against this attack. Media outlets close to the Pak Army reported that several snuffies were killed in these targeted strikes, and four operational bases of the TTP were destroyed. The Taliban’s Ministry of Defense, however, stated that the attack targeted "Wazooi refugees," disputing the claim that the strikes were solely aimed at holy warriors. The Ministry of Defense warned that this attack would not go unanswered. It emphasized its commitment to safeguarding Afghanistan’s territorial integrity and responding to such aggression.

| Islamic Emirate, Pakistani Forces Clash at Ghulam Khan Crossing |
| 2024-09-22 |
| [ToloNews] A clash between the forces of the Islamic Emirate and Pak military on Thursday evening at the Ghulam Khan crossing in Gurbuz district of Khost continued until midnight, local officials said, and that the clash occurred after Pak military personnel's inappropriate behavior towards some Afghans provoked a response from the Islamic Emirate forces. Whistling at the girlies were they? For shame! No good Moslem would act so toward a Muslimah. Bahauddin Jan Bilal, the commissioner of Ghulam Khan crossing in Khost, said: "The clash occurred yesterday evening at 6:30 PM. They were prepared from the beginning and were in a combat-ready state, wearing their helmets. When the clash occurred in the afternoon, both sides exchanged fire. We are investigating which side started the shooting first."Following this clash, several families have been relocated to safer areas, and the road has been closed to cargo vehicles and passengers. "When the clash started, it continued until about two o'clock in the night. These issues should be resolved through dialogue," said Khairuddin, a resident of Khost. "Many families have been forced to move from here. War brings many problems," said Mubarak Khan, another resident of Khost. Meanwhile, ...back at the palazzo, Count Guido had been cornered by the banditti... drivers report that with the onset of last night's clash, the Ghulam Khan crossing has been closed to traffic, and hundreds of trucks carrying fresh fruit and vegetables have been halted along this route.
