Afghanistan Claims to Kill 58 Pakistani Soldiers in Overnight Border Clash
According to Afghanistan, its forces killed 58 Pakistani soldiers during overnight border operations, a response to repeated territorial and airspace violations. The Taliban government also reported the capture of 25 Pakistani army posts. Pakistan’s Prime Minister condemned the assault, claiming the army delivered a “befitting reply” and destroyed several Afghan posts. Regional powers, like Saudi Arabia and Qatar, have called for calm as the security situation at the Torkham and Chaman border crossings worsened.
