Recent reports claiming that Afghan forces captured a Pakistani military post near Dabgai in Khost province have been proven false. Social media accounts linked to FAK, RAW, and Afghan propaganda circulated the story, asserting that four Pakistani soldiers were killed during the clash.
KP fact check, however, confirm that the claim is entirely baseless. No Pakistani post in the reported area has been compromised. Border posts along the western frontier remain fully operational and under the control of Pakistani security forces. There is no official report, visual evidence, or independent verification to support the viral claim.
Propaganda networks often spread unverified battlefield stories to create the impression of success. These claims are designed to mislead the public and generate false perceptions about the security situation along the Pakistan-Afghanistan border. Analysts warn that such narratives can escalate tensions and create confusion among local communities.
Officials urge citizens and social media users to rely on verified sources and avoid sharing unconfirmed reports. The military continues to maintain vigilance along the border, ensuring that all posts and personnel remain secure.
The claim regarding the capture of a Pakistani military post in Khost’s Alisher district and the death of four soldiers is entirely false. It forms part of a coordinated disinformation campaign aimed at shaping misleading narratives about the western frontier. Pakistani forces remain alert and in full control of all border positions.
