Taliban security personnel inspect the site, after Pakistani airstrike struck Gurbuz district in Afghanistan's Khost province on 24 September 2026. Pakistan's minister of information said its forces had struck 10 targets in Afghanistan -- without specifying where -- accusing its neighbour of allowing "terrorist sanctuaries" on its soil.
An attempted Afghan aggression in the Gulistan sector of the Pakistan-Afghan border was thwarted and several Afghan members of the Taliban were killed, Pakistani security sources said on Friday.
An intermittent exchange of fire between security forces and the Afghan Taliban is ongoing, and border security forces remain alert in the area, the sources told Reuters.
