Targeted Taliban Positions Along The Afghan-Pak Border, Says Pakistan
Pakistan’s state radio says the country’s armed forces are continuing retaliatory attacks against Afghan Taliban fighters and Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan along the border.
Radio Pakistan reported on Wednesday that Pakistani forces had targeted Taliban positions along the frontier.
Citing security sources, the broadcaster said the Pakistani army carried out attacks on Taliban targets in Zhob along the Pakistan-Afghanistan border.
The report said Taliban fighters were forced to retreat and had abandoned some of their positions and weapons.
Taliban authorities have not yet commented on the report.
The state broadcaster also said the army had seized Russian-made 73mm HGL-9 heavy grenade launchers from positions earlier under Taliban control.
