Elements of Pakistan's Frontier Corps (FC) have been observed operating inside Afghanistan's Kandahar province, targeting Afghan Taliban positions, according to a report disseminated on X at 10:05 AM UTC on October 13th, 2025. This incursion occurs as thousands of members of a far-right Pakistani Islamic party, the "Labbaik Pakistan Movement," began marching towards the capital on Saturday following violent clashes with police during anti-Israel protests in Lahore. The report from X user @Himat75, timestamped at 10:05 AM UTC, specifically noted Pakistani FC tanks targeting an Afghan Taliban position in Kandahar province, highlighting the presence of Pakistani forces within Afghan territory. This development follows earlier reports from this morning detailing significant domestic unrest in Pakistan, including violent protests by Tehrik-i-Labbaik Pakistan (TLP) supporters in Muridke and the detention of TLP chief Saad Rizvi and his brother. Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif also arrived in Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt, this morning for a Gaza peace plan signing ceremony attended by U.S. President Donald Trump. Simultaneously, thousands of members of the "Labbaik Pakistan Movement" initiated a march towards the capital on Saturday after engaging in violent clashes with police during anti-Israel demonstrations in Lahore. Details regarding the specific timing of the march's commencement or the scale of the Lahore protests within the current reporting window were not provided in the new sources, but the march itself was described as beginning on Saturday. In related context from previous reporting, Pakistan dispatched 100 tons of humanitarian aid to Gaza on October 13th, 2025. Prime Minister Sharif stated this morning that the Gaza peace plan signing ceremony in Sharm El Sheikh represents a "crucial step towards lasting peace in the Middle East." This peace initiative is occurring against a backdrop of domestic security challenges for Pakistan, including a deadly ambush of Pakistani soldiers in the Orakzai district and ongoing protests. Earlier on October 13th, former Afghan Vice President Amrullah Saleh accused Pakistan of supporting the Taliban, claims Pakistan has denied. Previous reports from earlier this morning (October 13th, 2025) detailed violent protests in Muridke involving TLP supporters, which were described as turning the area into a "war zone." TLP chief Saad Rizvi and his brother were detained by authorities in Muridke, with unverified reports suggesting Rizvi collapsed during the chaos. Internet services were disrupted in Muridke, and the area was reportedly cleared of protesters by 8:35 AM UTC on October 13th, 2025. Additionally, a commentary shared on X by Suhaib Ayaz at an unspecified time suggests that statements made by Malala Yousafzai represent a "brand repositioning campaign" and a rebranding for "longevity" rather than genuine activism, noting that "moral capital decays fast in Western media cycles."
