Pakistan Army Strikes Afghan Outposts Near Border

The Pakistan Army launched retaliatory strikes on Taliban positions along the Pakistan-Afghanistan border near Chaghi district, destroying several outposts and sending plumes of smoke into the sky.

Pakistani military forces carried out targeted attacks against Afghan Taliban outposts situated near the Chaghi district in Balochistan, bordering southern Afghanistan. Local reports confirmed that multiple Taliban posts were destroyed during the strikes, with visible clouds of smoke rising from the targeted areas.

The strikes were reportedly in retaliation for earlier provocations along the volatile border region, though no official Pakistani military statement has yet been released.

Clashes Extend From Helmand to Balochistan

The incident comes amid renewed hostilities that began earlier Thursday in Barmalcha district of Afghanistan’s Helmand Province, where Taliban and Pakistani forces engaged in active clashes, according to local sources cited by Amu TV.

The fighting in Helmand had been ongoing for hours by midday and highlights the persistent instability along the Durand Line, especially in areas where border demarcation remains contested or unregulated.
