Pakistani Military Commanders Urge Afghan Taliban To Act Against TTP
Senior Pakistani military commanders have once again expressed serious concerns over the continued use of Afghan territory by Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) militants.
Senior Pakistani military commanders have once again expressed serious concerns over the continued use of Afghan territory by Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) militants.
In a high-level meeting on Tuesday, they called for “concrete actions” from the Afghan Taliban to curb TTP activities, citing recent deadly attacks on Pakistani security forces.
The concerns were raised during a conference of top military officials in Rawalpindi, chaired by Pakistan’s Chief of Army Staff, General Asim Munir. According to an official statement from the Pakistani military, the meeting underscored the urgent need for decisive and tangible measures by the Taliban to address the threat posed by the TTP.
This development comes just days after a deadly insurgent attack in Balochistan, in which 18 Pakistani soldiers lost their lives. The recent surge in cross-border militancy has heightened tensions between Pakistan and Afghanistan, with Islamabad repeatedly urging the Taliban to prevent their territory from being used as a safe haven for terrorist groups.
Pakistan’s military leadership reaffirmed its commitment to safeguarding national security and maintaining stability in the region, while also calling for enhanced cooperation from the Taliban authorities to tackle the growing security challenge.
