Pakistan and Afghanistan have agreed to a 48-hour ceasefire following intense border clashes that left dozens dead. The truce comes after Pakistan launched precision strikes on Taliban positions in Kandahar and Kabul, and repelled multiple attacks in Balochistan and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
Security forces killed 19 Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan terrorists in intelligence-based operations across Mohmand, North Waziristan, and Bannu. Militants also targeted an intelligence official’s home in Lakki Marwat, highlighting escalating attacks on law enforcement in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province
On Pakistan’s Independence Day, the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) launched eight coordinated attacks across Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, killing policemen. Once created by ISI, the group now enjoys Afghan Taliban backing, uses NATO weapons, and ranks among the world’s deadliest terror outfits
The attack occurred in the Asman Manza area of the South Waziristan tribal district bordering Afghanistan when armed TTP militants opened fire at a convoy
