Pakistan\u2019s brave forces have given a prompt and effective response that no provocation will be tolerated,\u201d he said.<br \/>\nHe said Pakistan\u2019s forces are alert, and Afghanistan is being answered with \u201cstones for bricks\u201d.\u00a0 The situation deteriorated between the two neighbours following repeated terrorist attacks by the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), allegedly using the Afghan soil, including one in the restive Khyber Pakhtunkhwa\u2019s Orakzai district last week, which claimed the lives of 11 military personnel, including a Lt Colonel and a Major.<br \/>\nOn Thursday night, explosions were reported from the Afghan capital. Kabul blamed Islamabad for the attacks, but the Pakistani army refused to confirm or deny its involvement.<br \/>\nApparently prompted by the Kabul strikes, the Afghan security forces targeted attacks against Pakistan on Saturday night.<br \/>\nPakistan launched its retaliatory response early Sunday, hitting several border areas and destroying border posts, the state media reported.<br \/>\nThere was no official statement or comments from the Pakistan Army on the development.<br \/>\nHowever, security sources confirmed that Pakistani forces deployed at the international border \u201ctargeted several Afghan border posts\u201d, adding that there were reports of significant damage inflicted on multiple Afghan posts and militant formations.<br \/>\nThey said \u201cseveral Afghan soldiers were killed\u201d and militant formations were forced to retreat due to the \u201ceffective and intense retaliation by Pakistani forces\u201d.<br \/>\nArtillery, tanks, light and heavy weapons were used in the retaliatory action, along with air resources and drones, said the sources.<br \/>\nThey added that Afghan posts failed to provide covering fire to the militants, and there are reports of \u201cheavy losses\u201d among Afghan border posts and militants.<br \/>\n\u201cKharijites and Daesh hideouts inside Afghanistan, operating under the patronage of the interim Afghan government, are being effectively targeted\u2026The headquarters of Afghan forces, which have been sheltering Daesh and Fitna al-Khawarij, are also being targeted,\u201d they said.<br \/>\nThe Pakistan government last year notified the banned TTP as \u201cFitna al-Khawarij\u201d, a reference to a group in earlier Islamic history which was involved in violence.<br \/>\nIn a series of posts on social media, state-run PTV News shared videos of firing on the Afghan posts, some of which were in flames, and in one video, Afghan soldiers surrendering to Pakistani forces in Kurram.<br \/>\nThe state broadcaster issued the following statement quoting security sources: \u201cUnprovoked firing from the Afghan side at Pak-Afghan border, a strong, intense response from Pakistan Army.\u201d It said Pakistan was currently \u201ctargeting terrorist camps and hideouts of khawarij, ISIS located near the Pak-Afghan border inside Afghanistan with great precision. Afghan forces have retreated from several areas\u201d.<br \/>\nState-run Radio Pakistan also shared footage of what it said were \u201ckharjis and Afghan soldiers being taken out\u201d.<br \/>\nSources said that Pakistani posts also came under attack in the Baramcha area of Chagai district in Balochistan, and where \u201cAfghan forces opened indiscriminate fire at Pakistani border posts with heavy weapons late on Saturday night\u201d.<br \/>\nPakistan responded to the attacks when the Afghan forces tried to infiltrate into Pishin and Zhob districts and foiled their attempts, according to sources.<br \/>\nThe fighting between the two countries came as Afghan foreign minister Amir Khan Muttaqi was visiting India.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_33523\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-33523\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-33523\" src=\"https:\/\/jammubulletin.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/pak-9-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"Pak Strikes Afghan Security Posts Along Border\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" srcset=\"https:\/\/jammubulletin.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/pak-9-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/jammubulletin.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/pak-9-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/jammubulletin.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/pak-9-549x309.jpg 549w, https:\/\/jammubulletin.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/pak-9-470x264.jpg 470w, https:\/\/jammubulletin.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/pak-9-233x131.jpg 233w, https:\/\/jammubulletin.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/pak-9-230x129.jpg 230w, https:\/\/jammubulletin.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/pak-9-360x203.jpg 360w, https:\/\/jammubulletin.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/pak-9-100x56.jpg 100w, https:\/\/jammubulletin.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/pak-9.jpg 862w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-33523\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Pak Strikes Afghan Security Posts Along Border<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Islamabad, Oct 12: Pakistan responded to what it called \u201cunprovoked\u201d attacks by Afghan forces in border areas, destroying several Afghan border posts, training camps, and terrorist hideouts, security sources said on Sunday.
