Pakistan troops, Taliban exchange fire along Durand Line as fencing continues

Pakistani security forces and the Afghan Taliban are still exchanging fire across the Durand Line. The most recent incident occurred on Friday in the small villages of Ganjgaal, Sarkano and Kunar in the Bajaur region. Various reports by local media and videos released by reporters showed that the two sides opened fire on each other.

According to some reports, the shooting lasted 30 minutes on Friday afternoon.

According to reports, a sniper belonging to the Taliban shot and killed two Pakistani soldiers where the border fence was installed and then opened fire. In response, Pakistan opened fire on small border villages, triggering retaliation from Afghanistan.

Local reports further stated that there were fierce clashes in the area, with some shells and artillery hitting villagers.

At the same time, Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) claimed on Saturday that he was responsible for the attack on Federal Minister Shibli Faraz in Darra Adam Khel in Darra Adam Khel. His driver and bodyguard were injured.

At the time of the recent border conflict, both the Taliban and Pakistan claimed that they had resolved the recent dispute over the border fence and agreed that further work on the project that caused the tension would be completed by consensus. On Friday, a group of reporters said that the top management has decided that future fencing-related issues will be resolved through consultation between the two parties.

However, according to the Dawn newspaper, after the Taliban militants sabotaged the border fence and took away the spools of barbed wire on Wednesday, the official did not specify at which level the talks between the de facto governments of Pakistan and Afghanistan were held. of.

According to the report, since 2017, Pakistan has been establishing a 2,600-km-long border with Afghanistan to end terrorist infiltration and smuggling, despite the strong opposition of neighboring countries.

In addition to erecting fences, the project also includes the construction of border posts and fortresses, as well as the addition of new wings for the Frontier Corps, a paramilitary force guarding the border. The official said that the fence is 90% complete.

Fencing has always been a controversial issue in Pakistan’s relations with Afghanistan, because Afghans disputed the demarcation of borders during the colonial period.

Although the Afghan Pashtuns determine their national borders based on the Durand Line, Pakistan opposes this division.

The divergence in border conditions is so intense that it has led to several deadly conflicts between the two armies in the past.
