(251014) -- TORKHAM, Oct. 14, 2025 (Xinhua) -- Trucks remain stalled at the Pakistan-Afghanistan Torkham border, amid cross-border clashes in northwest Pakistan's Torkham, Oct. 13, 2025. Pakistan and Afghanistan clashed in the border area from late Saturday to early Sunday. Pakistan condemned Afghan provocation in the two countries' border area and demanded that the Afghan government ensure its territory is not used by terrorist elements against Pakistan. Afghanistan said any violation of its soil by anyone will not go unanswered.
Pakistan's Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), the media wing of the Pakistan Army, said in a statement on Sunday that militants from the terrorist group of the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan launched an unprovoked attack on Pakistan along the Pakistan-Afghanistan border, and the security forces of Pakistan repelled the assault.
Twenty-three Pakistani soldiers and over 200 terrorists were killed in the clash, the ISPR said, adding that precision fires and strikes as well as physical raids were directed against Taliban camps and posts, terrorist training facilities and support networks operating from Afghan territory.
