in Dand-e-Patan district in the eastern province of Paktia on Thursday evening, despite a ceasefire that continues between the two sides.

The statement reads that the Taliban violated the ceasefire and attacked the Border Forces outpost in the district, adding that the attack was fended off by Afghan forces and the Taliban suffered heavy casualties.

Three other members of the Border Force were maimed in the attack.

The Taliban took responsibility for Thursday's attack in Paktia province, calling it a ``defensive action,'' without elaborating.
