Earlier, the Pakistan Army had effectively retaliated after the recent unprovoked border aggression by the Afghan Taliban Regime and Fitna al-Khawarij.
According to sources, the Afghan Taliban used villages and innocent civilians as their human shields during the operation and damaged the Pak-Afghan Friendship Gate. However, the timely and effective action of the Pakistan Army forced the attackers to retreat.
On the other hand, a false claim was made by the spokesperson of the Afghan Taliban government that Pakistani tanks had been captured. However, Pakistan completely exposed these claims, calling them baseless.
