Kabul: The Afghan forces' multi-front revenge operation on Saturday night delivered a crushing blow to the Pakistan military, resulting in mass casualties of the Pakistani soldiers, military establishment, infrastructure, outposts, and weapons. The Afghanistan-Pakistan border witnessed a massive escalation in tensions as Afghan forces launched a full-blown retaliation against Pakistan days after unprovoked airstrikes in Kabul and other Afghan cities. The operation, which began on Saturday night, has resulted in the deaths of at least 12 Pakistani soldiers, with several others injured. The Afghan military has also reportedly seized control of several Pakistani posts along the border.

The Afghan Taliban's 201st Khalid bin Walid Army Corps has claimed responsibility for the offensive, calling it a retaliatory response to Pakistan's airstrikes on Kabul, Khost, and Nangarhar a few days ago. According to reports, the intense clashes that have erupted along the Durand Line, a disputed border region between the two countries, with Afghan forces launching attacks on Pakistan in over 20 points along the border, have dealt a massive blow to Pakistan. 

The Afghan military's offensive has also led to the capture of several Pakistani military posts, with Afghan forces seizing control of key areas, including Bandar in Nangarhar, Ghashi Kando in Kunar, Zazai Aryub in Paktia, and Bahramcha in Helmand. The situation on the Afghanistan-Pakistan border remains volatile, with the Afghan military's operation against Pakistan marked by intense artillery firing and heavy weaponry.

The Taliban's Ministry of Defence has announced that its "retaliatory attacks" on Pakistani posts and soldiers along the Durand Line have ceased, effective 12 am local time. These attacks were carried out in response to the Kabul airstrike, which the Taliban viewed as a violation of Afghan territory.
