[Khaama (Afghanistan)] The Afghan border police forces retook the outposts built by the Pak military in the outskirts of Paktia along the Durand Line.

The provincial government media office in a statement said the outposts were built Anzarkai Kandu and Sarkai areas of Dand-e-Pathan district.

The statement further added that the outposts were built in the absence of the Afghan forces as the area was under the control of the Talibs.
