Pakistan Army forces destroyed an Afghan army tank at Zazai post opposite Kurram district on October 14th, 2025, in retaliation for unprovoked Afghan aggression, according to Irves_Watch. This incident occurred amidst a significant deployment of thousands of additional militants by the Taliban along the Kunar-Kurram border, as reported by AhmadSharifzad. The Pakistan Air Force has also been operating within Afghan airspace, escalating existing border tensions with the Taliban. Over the past hour, Pakistan Army ATGM units targeted and destroyed an Afghan Battle Tank at Zazai post, situated opposite Pakistan's Kurram agency, as a direct response to Afghan aggression. Simultaneously, the Taliban has reinforced its border presence by dispatching thousands more militants to the frontier between Kunar and Kurram provinces. These developments follow earlier reports of Pakistan Air Force operations over Afghanistan and renewed clashes along the Durand border. Further complicating the regional situation, internal Taliban dissent has surfaced. Sirajuddin Haqqani reportedly criticized remarks made by Mullah Muttaqi, who had claimed credit for Afghanistan's past victories against superpowers while addressing an audience in India and subsequently threatening Pakistan. Haqqani stated that some high-ranking officials were falsely claiming credit for jihad and sacrifices they did not participate in, urging for an investigation into such claims. Separately, a notification issued on October 14th, 2025, cancelled a previously planned Indian missile test, with a new notification extending India's danger zone for a potential missile test in the Bay of Bengal region between October 15th and 17th, 2025. The ongoing border clashes between Pakistan and the Taliban, coupled with the Taliban's military mobilization and Pakistan Air Force incursions, represent a significant escalation. Previous reports indicated clashes in the Shourko sector of Kurram district and along the Chaman-Kandahar border, with Pakistan issuing warnings of "decisive strikes inside Afghanistan on Taliban military targets" if aggression against its border posts continued. Unconfirmed reports also suggested drone attacks and potential forced displacement in some Afghan border areas.
