Pakistan says all fighters were killed overnight in North Waziristan, while the Afghan government persuaded to secure their borders.
The Pakistani army announced that his forces had killed 16 armed fighters along the western border of the country with Afghanistan.
Pakistan “consistently asked the temporary Afghan government to ensure effective management of the border on their side of the border,” the army said on Sunday.
Border troops killed all fire exchange fighters during the night between March 22 and March 23 in North Waziristan County in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Province, the army said.
“The owners have effectively engaged and prevented their attempt at infiltration,” he added. “Pakistan’s security forces determine and remain dedicated to secure their borders and eliminate the threat of terrorism from the country.”
The incident happened because Pakistan’s special representative for Afghanistan Sadiq Khan is a two -day official visit to Kabul to discuss bilateral and economic issues, according to a statement from the Pakistani embassy in Kabul.
Earlier this month, Pakistani security forces made a ration of two hiding place It was used by an armed group in Mohmand and Dera Ismail Khan in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
Once was considered one of the closest ally of Afghan Taliban, Pakistan saw the neighbor aggravated in the last three years.
Islamabad accuses the Afghan rulers of Taliban of failure to suppress the activities of Pakistani Taliban, or Tehrek-E-Galiban Pakistan (TTP), a group that appeared in 2007 and has since committed hundreds of attacks against Pakistani security forces.
Only 2024, Pakistan witnessed more than 500 attacks, resulting in more than 1500 deaths among civilians and staff for law enforcement.
The forbidden TTP is a separate group, but an ally of Afghan Taliban, who in August 2021 resisted power in neighboring Afghanistan, because the United States and other troops of NATO were in the last phase of withdrawal from the country after 20 years of war.
The Pakistani government has often accused Afghan nationals of involvement in these attacks and claims that Kabul provides a refuge with TTP, which is an accusation that Afghan Taliban deny.
