Fighting intensified along the Chaman–Spin Boldak border between Pakistani and Taliban forces during the reporting window of October 15th, 2025, from 12:35 AM to 1:35 AM UTC. Explosions were reported in the Spin Boldak district of Kandahar Province, with local reports indicating Taliban reinforcements are moving into the area to bolster their positions. This escalation continues sustained border engagements between the two nations. During this one-hour period, clashes were confirmed along the Chaman–Spin Boldak frontier, a key crossing point. Local sources suggest a significant movement of Taliban troops into the contested region, signaling a potential escalation of the ongoing conflict. The nature of the explosions in Spin Boldak has not been officially detailed. Previous reports from late October 14th indicated that Pakistani forces had received U.S. approval to launch full-scale military operations against Afghanistan. These reports also mentioned that Washington was reportedly guaranteeing Indian restraint on the eastern front. Pakistan had also issued a Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) restricting air routes over its territory daily from October 15th to October 16th, 2025, between 7:30 PM and 9:30 PM Pakistan Standard Time (PKT) for operational reasons. Further context from earlier reports highlighted ongoing operations by Pakistani security forces against terrorists in the Bahadar Kalle hilly area of Turkmanzai's Mohmand sector, with exchanges of fire. Pakistani forces had also previously reported destroying multiple Afghan military assets, including tanks and armored personnel carriers, across various sectors. The Baloch Liberation Army had also claimed responsibility for several operations in different regions of Pakistan.
