Clash at the Border: Pakistani Forces Thwart Militants

In a nighttime operation, Pakistani security forces have reported the elimination of 33 militants trying to infiltrate from Afghanistan, according to a statement released by the military on Friday.

The military described the fighters as 'Indian-sponsored' and noted the careful execution of their engagement using precise fire to intercept the group.

This event underscores the persistent strain between Pakistan and India, two nuclear-armed countries that routinely accuse one another of fostering insurgency, though India denies such claims. Recovered from the scene were weapons, ammunition, and explosives.
