Afghan Taliban forces targeted and destroyed part of the border area at Spin BoldakāChaman crossing between 3:36 AM and 4:05 AM UTC on October 15th, 2025, according to reports from X user PashtunRevolt and MCIAZayyan. The actions occurred as Pakistani Army and Frontier Corps (FC) personnel reportedly withdrew from the area, with some sources describing the Taliban entering Spin Boldak freely. MCIAZayyan stated that the Taliban appear to have destroyed part of the border area and attempted an advance, but have since stopped and may be awaiting orders. PashtunRevolt, using hashtags including #SpinBoldak, #Taliban, #PakistanArmy, and #Chaman, depicted the situation as a withdrawal of Pakistani forces, with some personnel allegedly killed or having fled. These developments follow ongoing clashes between Pakistani and Afghan forces reported in previous windows. Previous reports indicated Afghan Taliban forces attempted to blow up part of the Spin BoldakāChaman crossing infrastructure in the Mazal Gali area and that fuel containers were observed, suggesting plans to further damage border infrastructure. The current window's events suggest an escalation in tactics by the Taliban, moving beyond direct confrontation to targeting infrastructure while Pakistani forces apparently withdrew.
