Pakistani media have reported the death of an Afghan citizen during a confrontation between Pakistani security forces and armed groups in North Waziristan.
According to Geo News, the individual, identified as Mujeeb-ur-Rahman Mansoor, was reportedly a commander in the third battalion of Afghanistan’s National Military Academy. Sources claim he was killed on February 28, along with 14 others described as “terrorists” in the Ghulum Khan area of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
The report does not specify whether Rahman held his position under the Taliban administration or the previous Afghan government.
Earlier, Pakistani authorities reported that Badruddin, the son of Mullah Ghulam Mohammad, the Taliban’s deputy governor in Badghis, was killed in a clash with Pakistani military forces alongside several Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) fighters.
Pakistani officials have frequently claimed that Afghan nationals are fighting alongside the TTP against Pakistan’s security forces, further straining relations between Islamabad and the Taliban government.
