Afghanistan reports militant casualties from cross-border attack
The Afghan Ministry of Defense announced the death of 28 militants and the injury of 32 others in Nuristan Province after a Pakistani group affiliated with the Islamic State crossed into the area in an attempt to carry out attacks on the Afghan side. It confirmed that most of the attackers were former members of Afghan security forces, and linked the incident to Pakistani intelligence involvement, which claimed to have facilitated the movement and training of former Afghan security personnel within Pakistan. This escalation comes amid increasing tensions between the two countries, following Pakistani airstrikes on Afghanistan that resulted in civilian casualties, as well as mutual accusations of harboring militants and interfering in security matters.
