Taliban suffer heavy losses as Pakistan Army hits back in Kurram Sector

PESHAWAR: The Pakistan Army delivered a swift and decisive response to unprovoked firing by Afghan Taliban and Khwarij terrorists in the Kurram Sector along the Pak-Afghan border.

According to security sources, Taliban positions suffered significant losses as a result of the retaliatory strikes. Within an hour, the Pakistan Army destroyed the fourth tank position of the Afghan Taliban at the Shamshad Post, forcing militants linked with Fitna al-Khawarij and the Taliban to flee in panic.

Sources confirmed that an important commander of Fitna al-Khawarij was reportedly killed in the counterattack. The strikes also destroyed multiple tank positions at the Nargsar Post in Afghanistan’s Khost province, eliminating several Taliban and Khawarij fighters. The post was later found abandoned.

One Taliban position reportedly raised a white flag before being evacuated by its fighters, officials added.

In addition, the army destroyed a sixth tank and its crew at Turkmanzai Top, with flames seen rising from the wreckage. A training camp opposite the Polsen Post, reportedly linked to Khawarij leader Malik Naeem, was also completely demolished in the operation.
