The Pakistan Air Force is operating within Afghanistan's airspace on October 14th, 2025, at approximately 5:08 PM UTC, following fresh clashes between Pakistani forces and Taliban fighters along the border and a Taliban military mobilization. Pakistan has stated that any further aggression from the Afghan Taliban against Pakistani border posts will be met with "decisive strikes inside Afghanistan on Taliban military targets," according to reports from OSPSF. The Taliban initiated a military mobilization this evening near the Durand border in Khost province, preparing for armed confrontation with Pakistan border forces, as confirmed by insider sources. Over the past hour, fresh clashes have been reported between Pakistani forces and Taliban fighters in the Shourko sector of Kurram district, Afghanistan's Paktia province, opposite Kurram District on the Pakistani side. These incidents follow earlier fighting along the Chaman-Kandahar border. Unconfirmed reports suggest announcements were made in mosques on the Afghan side urging residents to leave their homes, with locals claiming forced displacement is occurring. The region, including Shahidano Dand, was also reportedly struck by a drone attack targeting the Afghan Taliban, resulting in casualties. Unknown drones have also been sighted over Afghan cities during this period. The Pakistan Air Force's operation in Afghan airspace represents a significant escalation in the ongoing border tensions, with Pakistan issuing warnings of decisive strikes within Afghanistan in response to Taliban aggression against its border posts. The Taliban's mobilization near the Durand border in Khost province indicates a readiness for direct confrontation.
