Taliban Spokesperson Claims 'Destruction' of Two Pakistani Border Posts in Torkham

Abdul Mateen Qani, the spokesperson for the Taliban's Ministry of Interior, announced that the group's border forces "destroyed" two Pakistani border posts during a clash with Pakistani border guards in Torkham.

Qani stated that during this confrontation, a woman and two children were killed due to gunfire from the Pakistani border guards.

On Monday night, he wrote on X social media platform that the clash occurred at noon in Torkham after Pakistani border forces opened fire on Taliban border forces.

Qani did not provide an explanation for the cause of the clash. However, earlier, the Taliban-controlled Bakhtar News Agency reported, citing Taliban officials, that Taliban members were working on expanding a security post near the border when Pakistani forces opened fire.

Meanwhile, local sources told Afghanistan International on Monday that following the clash between Taliban and Pakistani border forces in the Momand Dara district of Nangarhar, "a woman and her three sons were killed”.

Apparently, they lost their lives after a mortar hit their home in this district.
