The Afghan Taliban government's Ministry of Defense announced the end of "coordinated retaliatory attacks" on Pakistani military positions along the Durand Line. According to local media, at least 12 Pakistani soldiers were killed in the fighting, and one border post in the Bahramcha area was lost.

Clashes that began in the provinces of Khost, Paktia, Paktika, and Helmand spread to the neighboring regions of Kunar, Nangarhar, and Kandahar. The Taliban used heavy weapons, leading to the retreat of some Pakistani units.

"This is a response to provocations from Pakistan," — the Afghan Ministry of Defense stated, noting the successful completion of the operation.

The Taliban's airstrike on Lahore has not yet been confirmed by official sources, but tensions on the border remain, fueling mutual accusations of involvement in cross-border attacks.
