Pakistan's artillery fire destroyed multiple Afghan posts, including one across Kurram Agency, between 9:36 PM and 10:06 PM UTC on October 11th, 2025, as an Afghan Taliban request for de-escalation was rejected. The Afghan Taliban (TTA) had requested Pakistan to de-escalate, but this was denied, with a statement urging them "to go back to the caves and hide." Multiple Afghan posts were reportedly destroyed by Pakistani artillery fire during this period, with Afghan troops also targeted by Pakistani forces. The Pakistan Army confirmed on X (formerly Twitter) that another Afghan post was destroyed across Kurram Agency. This follows earlier reports from this period indicating that multiple Afghan posts had been destroyed by Pakistan's artillery. The Afghan navy was reportedly placed on high alert amid the ongoing hostilities. Separately, within the same reporting window, NRF sources claimed an intelligence-based IED attack on an Afghan Taliban military convoy resulted in the death of the son of the Afghan Defense Minister, Mullah Yaqoob, though this remains unconfirmed. This incident occurred as the previous reporting period detailed heavy clashes along the Durand Line, including claims of a Pakistani jet being shot down and Afghan forces destroying Pakistani military posts, with a ceasefire request from Pakistan having been cut off. Discussions on social media platforms during this window also touched upon Pakistan potentially joining the Abraham Accords and seeking technology transfer from Israel, with some users suggesting an end to "ummah drama." Another user speculated that 2025 would be a difficult year for Pakistan, predicting division and crisis. During the preceding reporting window, which concluded at 9:36 PM UTC, heavy clashes occurred along the Durand Line. The Afghan Taliban initiated retaliatory operations, claiming destruction of Pakistani military posts in response to alleged Pakistani airstrikes. Pakistan reported three soldiers killed and five wounded. Saudi Arabia expressed concern and urged restraint, while differentiating its new defense pact from involvement in a war with Afghanistan.
