Border Clash Erupts Between Taliban Forces and Pakistani Troops in Kunar

Local sources in Kunar province report that a border clash between Taliban forces and Pakistani border guards broke out around 12:00 p.m. on Wednesday, December 16, in the Dangam district’s border areas.

According to the sources, the confrontation began near the Durand Line after Pakistani forces reportedly fired rockets toward areas within Kunar province. This sparked an exchange of fire between the two sides, which lasted for some time.

While the fighting has since ceased, no verified reports on possible casualties or material damage have been made available.

Despite the sensitivity of the situation and growing concerns among residents in border areas, neither Taliban officials nor Pakistani authorities have issued any statements regarding the cause or consequences of the clash as of the time this report was published. The continued silence has renewed criticism over the lack of transparency in handling border tensions.
