in eastern Afghanistan say that the Mighty Pak Army and the Taliban forces engaged in an armed clash in the province along the Durand line.
According to Najibullah Hanif, the Taliban’s Head of Information and Culture Department in Kunar province, there were no casualties and the situation is now resolved.
Taliban official, Hanif, stated that the incident occurred because the Pak military planned to construct a post and put up barbed wire in the Bain-e-Shahi region of Dangam district in Kunar province close to the Durand Line.
Locals in Kunar province, on the other hand, said that the skirmish went on until 10:00 PM and that both sides utilized light and heavy weapons.
After the clash, Najibullah Hanif stated that Pak forces fired mortar shells, attacking various areas in the Dangam district.
The Taliban forces have repeatedly started severe armed festivities with the neighboring nations since assuming control in mid-August of last year, especially near the borders with Tajikistan, Iran, and Pakistain.
