2. There is ongoing fighting at at least 7 locations along the border, likely more. Mostly with artillery, mortars and MGs.

3. 2 Pakistani soldiers and one civilian is dead, two are injured

4. 5 afghan soldiers are reported to be killed, one afghan post is confirmed destroyed

6. PAF is currently doing air strikes against afghan forces, Afghanistan has mobilized several thousand troops towards the border, Pakistan already had a large border force present due to TTPs border incursions.

7. Both sides are claiming to have taken over or destroyed border posts belonging to each other, this is likely true as there are many posts on the border and some are usually empty when gunfights start, these are located in porous areas of the border where one can easily cross over, so it’s likely there are ground forces of either side on each others soil, but not by much.

Taliban government spokesperson claims Afghan forces killed at least 58 Pakistani soldiers and wounded 30 others in overnight retaliatory strikes, seizing 25 border positions.

Reportedly, Pakistan Air Force has carried out two airstrikes in the Spin Boldak district of Kandahar, Afghanistan.

Devastating visuals emerging from Kandahar, Afghanistan reports of multiple explosions and airstrikes shaking the region.
Casualties feared, situation rapidly unfolding.

According to Pakistani state media and security sources:

Pakistan claims its forces have captured 19 Afghan border posts after responding to attacks launched from across the border.

Several Afghan Taliban positions were destroyed overnight, including the Manojba camp battalion HQ, Jandusar Post, Turkmenzai camp, and Kharchar Fort, according to Radio Pakistan.

Security sources say dozens of Afghan Taliban and Khwarij militants were killed, while others fled the area, leaving their posts behind.

The firing from the Afghan side was reportedly aimed at helping Khwarij formations cross into Pakistan, but Pakistani forces responded swiftly and forcefully.

President Asif Ali Zardari and Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif asserted there would be no compromise on Pakistan’s sovereignty.

Pakistan says that 23 of its troops have been killed and 200 Taliban and affiliated militants killed in border clashes following an attack from the Afghan side.
