ISLAMABAD/RAWALPINDI: At least 23 Pakistani troops embraced martyrdom while over 200 Taliban and affiliated terrorist were killed in fierce overnight clashes along the Pak-Afghan border, the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) said on Sunday, following an unprovoked attack from the Afghan side.

According to the ISPR statement, the confrontation began on the night of October 11-12 when “Afghan Taliban and India-sponsored Fitna al-Khawarij launched an unprovoked assault on Pakistani border posts,” triggering heavy exchanges of fire and precision strikes across several flashpoints. The military said its troops “responded decisively in self-defence,” inflicting heavy casualties and destroying multiple Taliban positions along the frontier.
