Taliban forces dropped munitions on Pakistani military positions during armed clashes on the border between Pakistan and Afghanistan, as reported by GeoConfirmed and FaytuksNetwork on October 12th, 2025, at approximately 5:55 PM UTC. These engagements follow Pakistan's launch of Phase II of "Operation Khyber Storm" earlier today, which aims to eliminate the Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) within Afghanistan. The Pakistani Ministry of Foreign Affairs also released a statement on Afghan Taliban attacks against Pakistan, with further commentary suggesting consequences for Pakistan if its actions are not corrected. In the past 29 minutes, visual evidence shared by @Archer83Able depicted Taliban forces engaged in dropping munitions on Pakistani military positions. The Pakistani Ministry of Foreign Affairs' statement, released via X by @ForeignOfficePk, addresses attacks by the Afghan Taliban against Pakistan, linking to a press release on their official website. A separate social media post from @HaidarHashmi0 suggested that Pakistan would face further consequences if it does not "correct its ways." These developments occur amidst previous reports of Pakistani Army forces advancing approximately 2 km inside Afghanistan's Paktika province on October 12th, 2025, capturing a strategically important hill. Pakistan's Defence Minister Khawaja Asif had previously commented on the need for Afghan refugees to return to Pakistan and stated that the country must "redeem our economy." The Afghan defense forces had also warned Pakistan that they fought with only 10% of their strength and would use 100% if Afghan territory was violated again.
