Taliban, Pakistani Forces Clash Along Kunar & Nangarhar Border

Local sources in Kunar and Nangarhar provinces have reported clashes between Taliban forces and Pakistani border guards at multiple locations along the shared border.

The confrontations took place separately in Shali Dara village of Khas Kunar district in Kunar province and Goshta district of Nangarhar province.

According to local sources, on the evening of Friday, both sides exchanged rocket fire. The continuous shelling by Pakistani forces in Shali Dara has forced many residents to flee their homes.

As of now, no official information has been released regarding potential casualties from these clashes.

In Goshta, sporadic clashes between Taliban and Pakistani forces have continued near the Durand Line over the past few days.

Sources reported that three days ago, the Taliban attempted to establish a security outpost in Goshta to station an armoured tank. However, Pakistani border forces opposed the move, leading to an armed confrontation.

Neither Pakistani authorities nor Taliban officials have issued official statements regarding these incidents. The latest clashes have raised renewed concerns over security along the Afghanistan-Pakistan border.
