The Taliban on Sunday issued a stern warning to Islamabad, urging Pakistan to stop providing safe haven to ISIS militants. The group claimed that Afghan counterstrikes along the border killed 58 Pakistani soldiers and injured 30 more, following recent airstrikes in Kabul.
“Pakistan must either expel key ISIS members hiding on its soil or hand them over to the Islamic Emirate,” Taliban spokesperson Zabihullah Mujahid said during a press briefing. “The ISIS network poses a serious threat to multiple countries, including Afghanistan.”
Mujahid emphasized Afghanistan’s right to defend its airspace and territorial borders. He added that the Taliban had paused overnight operations along the Durand Line—the mountainous border dividing Afghanistan and Pakistan—at the request of Qatar and Saudi Arabia.
The recent escalation highlights the fragile security situation along the Afghanistan-Pakistan border and raises pressing questions about regional cooperation in combating terrorist groups. With tensions simmering, the world watches closely as both sides navigate this high-stakes standoff.
