Firing Continues Along Pak-Afghan Border

According to security sources, bilateral firing is ongoing between the Pakistan Army and Afghan forces at several points along the Pak-Afghan border. The exchange of fire began earlier and has continued without interruption in some areas.

Security officials said the clashes are taking place in the border regions of Bazaar Zakhakhel, Waraga, Maro Sar, and Shakot. Both sides are reported to be using heavy weapons during the exchange. However, there are no immediate reports of casualties so far.

As the situation develops, security forces remain on high alert. Residents living near the border areas have been advised to stay cautious and avoid movement close to the firing zones.

Situation Remains Tense as Monitoring Continues

Meanwhile, security sources confirmed that the exchange of fire is still ongoing at various points. Officials said they are closely monitoring the situation and gathering details from the affected areas.

So far, no official statement has been released explaining what triggered the clashes. Authorities have also not provided information about any damage to property or infrastructure. The lack of confirmed details has added to uncertainty in the region.

In recent months, tensions along the Pak-Afghan border have flared at different times. Border disputes, security operations, and movement near crossing points have previously led to similar incidents. However, officials have not linked the current clashes to any specific cause.

At the same time, local administrations are coordinating with security agencies to manage the situation. Checkpoints have reportedly been tightened, and security patrols increased in nearby areas.

For now, officials say their priority is to prevent the situation from escalating further. Talks or coordination efforts between the two sides have not yet been confirmed.

Bilateral firing between Pakistani and Afghan forces continues at multiple border locations. Heavy weapons are being used, but no casualties have been reported. Authorities remain alert as the situation unfolds, and further updates are expected once official information is released.
