Pakistani forces destroyed multiple Afghan military assets, including tanks, an MBRL, and APCs, on October 14th, 2025, during intense clashes along the Pakistan-Afghanistan border. These actions were a response to unprovoked Afghan aggression, with Pakistani forces reporting the killing of fifty militants. The clashes occurred across various sectors, including Turkmanzai Top, Naraig Sar, and Paloseen Village, according to multiple sources. During the reporting window, Pakistani artillery and mortar fire were reportedly positioned and ready for engagement. Pakistani forces also reported destroying a US-made Humvee with an SPG-9 and a vehicle with an RPG. Sources indicated that a significant number of injured Tehrik-i-Taliban (TTP) and Afghan Taliban (TTA) militants were shifted to Khost for medical treatment, reportedly accompanied by Musa Jaan. Pakistani forces are conducting extensive surveillance, utilizing all available means, as stated by security sources. In a separate development, Pakistan has issued a Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) restricting several air routes over its territory for "operational reasons." The restrictions are scheduled to be in effect daily from October 15th to October 16th, 2025, between 7:30 PM and 9:30 PM Pakistan Standard Time (PKT) each day. This announcement comes amidst the escalating border situation. Afghan officials in Nangarhar have denied reports of armed clashes with Pakistani forces in areas such as Achin. However, other sources reported firing between Afghan and Pakistani border forces in at least three areas. Multiple Taliban mouthpiece accounts simultaneously posted the Quranic verse "If you return, We will return" (Al-Anfal 8:19), interpreted as a threat in response to Pakistani strikes. Previous reports from October 14th, 2025, indicated that Pakistan Army ATGM units had destroyed an Afghan Battle Tank at Zazai post in retaliation for Afghan aggression. The Taliban had also reportedly deployed thousands of additional militants along the Kunar-Kurram border. Earlier, the Pakistan Air Force had been reported operating within Afghanistan's airspace, escalating existing border tensions.
