The armed conflict between Afghanistan and Pakistan has ended

On the night of October 11 to 12 this year, fierce clashes occurred between the border forces of Pakistan and the Taliban. Both sides reported dozens of dead and wounded.

According to media reports, the Pakistani army, during the clashes with the armed forces of the “Taliban” on the Afghan-Pakistani border, captured 20 Afghan border outposts and eliminated 200 Taliban militants and associated groups on Afghan territory.

It is also reported that 32 Pakistani servicemen were killed.

According to the Taliban, in a “counterattack,” 57 Pakistani soldiers were killed, 35 were wounded, and 20 military posts of Pakistan were destroyed, along with a large amount of weapons captured.

Media also reported civilian casualties; however, the exact number of civilian deaths is currently unknown.

Data and statements from both sides are contradictory, with each side accusing the other of escalating the situation. Independent sources have not yet confirmed the statements from either side.

At this moment, thanks to the mediation of Saudi Arabia and Qatar, the conflict has ended. However, the Taliban warned that if Pakistan violates Afghan airspace again, the response will be decisive.

The conflict between Pakistan and the Afghan Taliban flared up after the Pakistani army, under the pretext of eliminating the leader of the Pakistani Taliban (Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan) Nur Wali Mehsud and several high-ranking members of this group, violated Afghan airspace and carried out airstrikes on several areas of Afghanistan on October 9. However, it is still unknown how successful this operation was.

Pakistani authorities claim that Afghan Taliban provided shelter to Pakistani Taliban, but the Afghan Taliban rejected these accusations.
