fighters were killed and 16 others injured in the early hours of Saturday (September 7) when Pak forces retaliated against unprovoked cross-border firing from Afghanistan's Pilwasin area.

According to Geo News, sources linked with border security personnel confirmed two "key commanders" of the Afghan Taliban, Khalil and Jan Muhammad, were killed in the exchange of fire.

"Afghan Taliban opened fire towards Pak check-posts using advanced weaponry in Pilwasin on the morning of September 7."

Besides a spike in terrorist activities within the borders, Pakistain has witnessed a significant surge in cross-border attacks from the neighbouring country targetting security forces in recent months.
