Afghanistan Claims 58 Pakistani Soldiers Killed in Border Operations
Afghanistan has reported that 58 Pakistani soldiers were killed in overnight border operations in response to repeated violations of its territory and airspace.
Earlier in the week, Afghan authorities accused Pakistan of bombing the capital Kabul and a market in the country's east, though Pakistan did not claim responsibility for the assault.
"The situation on all official borders and de facto lines of Afghanistan is under complete control, and illegal activities have been largely prevented."
The Taliban government's chief spokesman, Zabihullah Mujahid, stated that Afghan forces have captured 25 Pakistani army posts, with 58 soldiers killed and 30 others injured.
The Taliban government's defence ministry reported that its forces conducted "retaliatory and successful operations" along the border, but there was no immediate confirmation from Pakistan about casualties.
