Afghan forces have seized key Pakistani military posts along the border as clashes along the Durand Line entered the fifth consecutive day. Afghanistan’s Defence Ministry said that its forces carried out retaliatory strikes on Pakistani bases following recent air raids by the Pakistan Air Force inside Afghan territory. Afghan officials claimed that multiple Pakistani posts were captured in Kandahar province, including three in the Spin Boldak district and two in the Ali-Sher district.
The escalation marks the latest surge in tensions along the Durand Line, where hostilities have intensified since Pakistan’s strikes on 21st and 22nd last month. The ongoing confrontation underscores the deepening instability along the Durand Line, with both sides accusing each other of aggression as military engagements continue across the shared border.
