Intensifying Hostilities
The conflict between Pakistan and Afghanistan has escalated into a fierce battle. Both nations are launching intense attacks against each other. Pakistan, which has repeatedly tested the patience of the Taliban government in Afghanistan, has finally crossed a line. Afghan fighters have unleashed chaos upon Pakistani troops. Recent reports indicate that the Afghan administration claims to have killed 55 Pakistani soldiers. What began as skirmishes late at night has rapidly transformed into a full-scale war.
Ongoing Clashes
The brutal fighting between Pakistan and the Taliban has continued throughout the night and is still ongoing. Taliban spokesperson Zabihullah Mujahid stated that the Pakistan Air Force conducted bombings in several locations within Afghanistan, which were met with a strong response. Afghan forces also claim to have shot down a Pakistani JF-17 fighter jet. Additionally, there are reports of Pakistan claiming control over 19 posts along the Durand Line, the international border with Afghanistan.
Retreat of Pakistani Soldiers
The Taliban's assault was so severe that Pakistani soldiers abandoned their posts in haste. In a statement from the Taliban spokesperson, it was mentioned that the cowardly Pakistani army had bombed certain areas in Kabul and Kandahar, but thankfully, no casualties were reported.
Violation of Sovereignty
A press release from the Taliban's Military of National Defense indicated that, similar to previous incidents, the Pakistani army openly infiltrated Afghanistan's eastern borders. This violation of our sovereignty led to the martyrdom of women and children last night in the year 1447 Hijri. The conflict between the Taliban and Pakistan ignited after the Pakistani army launched significant attacks on Taliban checkpoints along the Durand Line earlier this week, resulting in substantial losses on both sides.
Controversial Remarks from Pakistan's Defense Minister
Meanwhile, a peculiar statement from Pakistan's Defense Minister Khawaja Asif has gone viral, where he expressed that their patience has reached its limit regarding the Afghan war. He declared that an open war has commenced, further stating that the Taliban has turned Afghanistan into a colony of India.
