Pakistani soldiers released a video on October 15th, 2025, from a captured border post during recent clashes with the Taliban, showing them armed with U.S.-made M4A1 carbines equipped with Pulsar thermal scopes. The video, shared via X by the account @war_noir, emerged as tensions between Pakistan and Afghanistan remain high. Previous reports from October 15th, 2025, indicated that Balochistan tribes pledged support to the Pakistani army against terrorism emanating from the Afghan Taliban. This commitment included readiness for sacrifices and challenging the enemy alongside the army, as stated in an X post by MCIAZayyan. These border clashes follow Pakistani air force strikes in Kabul and Kandahar on October 15th, 2025, which resulted in significant casualties, according to Taliban and hospital sources. Pakistan had previously issued a 48-hour ultimatum to Afghanistan on October 15th, 2025, as posted by thewirepak on X. Footage also showed Pakistani Zarrar tanks being moved towards the Chaman border with Afghanistan.
