Rawalpindi (Web Desk): Pakistan has effectively repulsed a cowardly attack by Afghan Taliban in Spin Boldak area of Balochistan, the military’s media wing said on Wednesday.
According to the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), in the early hours of 15 October 2025, Afghan Taliban resorted to cowardly attack at four locations in Spin Boldak area of Balochistan. The attack was effectively repulsed by Pakistani forces.
The statement said that the attack was orchestrated through divided villages in the area, with no regard for civil population. The Afghan Taliban also destroyed Pak-Afghan Friendship Gate on their side that clearly displays the mindset with regards to mutual trade and easement rights of the divided tribes.
“While repulsing the attack, 15-20 Afghan Taliban have been killed and many injured. The situation is still developing. There are reports of further build up in staging points of Fitna Al Khwarij and Afghan Taliban,” the ISPR said.
The ISPR further stated that the Spin Boldak incident was not isolated, noting that on the night of October 14 and 15, Afghan Taliban and Fitna Al Khwarij tried to attack Pakistani border posts in the Kurram Sector in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP).
The military’s media wing said that these attacks were effectively repulsed causing heavy losses to Afghan posts. Eight posts including six tanks were destroyed in the effective yet proportionate response of Pakistani troops. 25-30 Afghan Taliban and Fitna Al Khwarij fighters were suspected to have been killed.
The statement said that the insinuations that the attack was initiated by Pakistan, are outrageous and blatant lies, just like the claims of capturing Pakistani posts or equipment. The propaganda of Taliban regime can be debunked with basic fact checks.
“The armed forces stand resolute and fully prepared to defend the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Pakistan. All acts of aggression against Pakistan will be responded to with full force,” the ISPR said.
President Asif Ali Zardari and Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif have strongly condemned the unprovoked cross border attacks on Pakistani border posts from the Afghan territory.
In a statement, the president said these are a blatant violation of Pakistan’s sovereignty. He said such attacks harm regional peace and friendly relations.
PresidentZardari paid tribute to the bravery and professionalism of the armed forces. He said Pakistan Army effectively repulsed attacks in Spin Boldak and Kurram sector.
“Afghan Taliban interim government is continuously violating the Doha Agreement,” he said, adding that Afghan Taliban are providing safe havens to terrorists, who are becoming a threat to countries across the region.
The president called upon the Afghan authorities to ensure their territory is not used for terrorism and anti-Pakistan activities.
Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif also expressed concern over provocations by the Afghan Taliban, Fitna-al-Hindustan, and Fitna-al-Khawarij at the Pakistan-Afghanistan border.
In a statement, the premier paid tribute to the security forces for thwarting the attack by the Afghan Taliban in Kurram sector.
He said that the Pakistan Army gave a befitting response to the Afghan Taliban’s unprovoked aggression.
“The use of Afghan soil for terrorist incidents in Pakistan is highly condemnable,” PM Shehbaz said and reiterated the country’s resolve to defend its security.
