Tribes in Balochistan have pledged their support to the Pakistani army in confronting terrorism emanating from the Afghan Taliban, announcing their readiness to make sacrifices. This declaration comes as tensions persist between Pakistan and Afghanistan, with the tribes stating their willingness to challenge the enemy alongside the army if permitted by the Corps Commander. The commitment was shared via an X post by MCIAZayyan on October 15th, 2025. In a related development, ground intelligence (HUMINT) indicates that the Taliban dispatched a total of 100 suicide bombers into Pakistan on the night the current conflict began. These individuals were reportedly moved from a training camp in Khost, Afghanistan, and directed towards Peshawar, Lahore, Islamabad, and Karachi. According to the source, this deployment is an attempt by the Taliban to slow Pakistan's military actions, as they are believed to lack other warfare options against the Pakistani army. This intelligence was confirmed and shared via accounts including [@dgispr] on October 15th, 2025. These developments follow previous Pakistani air force strikes in Kabul and Kandahar on October 15th, 2025, which resulted in significant casualties in Kabul, including over 300 injuries and dozens of fatalities, according to Taliban and hospital sources. The strikes, which occurred near Shaheed Roundabout and Taimani, ignited an oil tanker and caused a massive fire. Pakistan had previously issued a 48-hour ultimatum to Afghanistan on October 15th, 2025, stating, "In 48 hours I wish they change their 48 years old policy or we will finish the job," as posted on X by thewirepak. Footage has also shown Pakistani Zarrar tanks being moved towards the Chaman border with Afghanistan. Aviation notices indicate multiple air traffic routes within Pakistan's central sector will be unavailable on October 16th, 2025.
