Pakistan's military continues to respond vigorously against Afghan Taliban forces following unprovoked firing and raids along the Pak-Afghan border, with security sources reporting the destruction of the Afghan Taliban's "Brexit Base camp" against the Chitral sector. This action, described as a "befitting response" by Pakistan's Defense Minister Ishaq Dar, aims to neutralize "Fitna-e-Khawarij and Fitna-e-Hindustan terrorist elements operating from Afghan soil," according to a statement released on X at 9:05 AM UTC. Prime Minister Muhammad Shahbaz Sharif stated that "there will be no compromise on defense of the country, every provocation will be answered strongly," as reported by PTV News. In the past 29 minutes, between 9:05 AM and 9:34 AM UTC, Pakistani forces also seized the Afghan Taliban's "Tapser post" against the Karki sector, with further advances reported towards another Afghan Taliban post. These developments come as the Afghan government's third request for a ceasefire has been rejected, according to a post on X at 9:06 AM UTC. Security sources confirmed the devastating impact on the "Brexit Base camp," sharing video footage of its destruction. Defense Minister Ishaq Dar emphasized that Pakistan's defensive response is not targeted at the Afghan civilian population and that extreme caution is being exercised to avoid civilian casualties, a sentiment echoed by a post on X at 9:05 AM UTC. He urged the Afghan government to take concrete measures against terrorist elements that threaten Pak-Afghan relations. Orakzai tribal elders and local people have declared full solidarity with the Pakistan Army, vowing to defend the homeland and stand shoulder-to-shoulder with forces against Afghan terrorist threats, as reported by War Analysts on X at 9:16 AM UTC. These ongoing military actions follow earlier reports from this morning. Between 8:04 AM and 9:04 AM UTC, Pakistani forces conducted aerial strikes on the Asamatullah Karrar camp in Spin Boldak, Kandahar, reportedly obliterating a major hub for planning terror attacks against Pakistan. This was stated to be in retaliation for unprovoked aggression by the Afghan Taliban government. Earlier, between 7:50 AM and 8:04 AM UTC, Pakistani jets reportedly struck a Baloch Liberation Army camp in Spin Boldak. Afghanistan's Taliban government spokesperson, Zabihullah Mujahid, had stated this morning that over 20 soldiers died in a conflict concluding last night and accused Pakistan of harboring ISIS elements and planning future attacks.
