Pakistani Army captures Taliban military base near border

The Pakistani military reported that Taliban have launched “unprovoked heavy weapons fire” on its outposts near the border. According to recent reports, Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan fighters have taken control of a military base in Salarzai, located in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa's Bajaur district. It is noteworthy that attacks on military forces in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa have surged in recent weeks.
Pakistan has long accused Taliban of harboring militants from the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan, a group responsible for a wave of deadly attacks on Pakistani security forces. The renewed hostilities along the Pakistan-Afghanistan border come at a time of increasing instability in the region. Cross-border violence has surged in recent months, with both sides trading accusations of provocations and violations.
Analysts warn that escalating military actions could further strain relations between the two countries, complicating efforts to address shared securityconcerns and the broader humanitarian crisis facing millions of Afghans displaced by ongoing conflict and economic turmoil.
