Security Forces Hit Afghan Taliban Posts After Unprovoked Firing in Waziristan

South Waziristan – (Staff Reporter/Web Desk) – Pakistani security forces hit back at Afghan Taliban posts after fresh firing targeted Pakistani positions in South Waziristan. A deputy commissioner shared the details on Sunday.

The South Waziristan Lower deputy commissioner wrote on X that the firing came from across the border. He said it went on in the Angoor Adda area and was unprovoked.

Security forces answered right away. He said they struck several border posts, mortar positions and defensive sites on the other side.

The deputy commissioner also said the Afghan Taliban personnel left their posts and ran away. This happened after the strong response from Pakistani forces.

There is some relief in the news. No casualties have been reported in the Pakistani border areas so far. Security forces remain ready for any further aggression, he added.

This is not the first clash in the area. Just a few days ago, on the night of October 27, firing hit civilian houses and the Angoor Adda Bazaar.

A mortar shell landed on a house in a residential area. One civilian was killed and five others were hurt. Several shops in the bazaar were also damaged, according to the deputy commissioner and security sources.

Pakistani forces then launched a retaliatory operation. They destroyed several checkposts across the border. The Ministry of Information and Broadcasting later said seven Afghan Taliban posts had been destroyed.

Islamabad has asked the Afghan Taliban government many times to act. Its main demand is simple: stop militant groups from using Afghan land to attack Pakistan. The banned Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan, or TTP, is the group named most often.

Tension along the border remains high. Residents of Angoor Adda have faced fear and loss in recent days, and they hope for calm soon.
