PESHAWAR: The Pakistan Army targeted the Nargasar Post in Khost, Afghanistan, where a tank stationed at the fifth tank position was destroyed along with its crew.
Security sources confirmed that several Taliban and Khawarij militants inside the tank were killed, and the posts were subsequently abandoned by the remaining forces.
“The strike on the Nargasar Post is another significant victory for the Pakistan Army in its fight against terrorism. Several key operatives of the Taliban and Khawarij were neutralized,” the sources said.
The Afghan Taliban raised a white flag after Pakistani military forces successfully destroyed one of their key positions in the Khost region of Afghanistan.

The Pakistani military continues to press its efforts in dismantling the terrorist networks operating along the border, ensuring both strategic control and security in the region. The military’s sustained operations have led to the disruption of militant activity, forcing them to vacate key positions.
Earlier, the Pakistan Army strongly responded and destroyed several security posts of the Afghan Taliban, followed by unprovoked firing by Afghan Taliban forces and members of the militant group referred to as “Fitna al-Khawarij” along the Pak-Afghan border in the Kurram district.
According to security sources, the exchange began when Afghan forces and militants opened fire at Pakistan posts. While responding, the Pakistan Army retaliated with full force, damaging the Afghan Taliban posts.
As a result of the retaliatory action, several posts of the Afghan Taliban caught fire, and heavy losses were inflicted.
Sources claimed that at least one Taliban tank was also destroyed during the exchange.
Military officials have not confirmed any casualties on the Pakistani side. However, the situation remains tense in the border areas, with heightened alert levels across forward posts.
After the retaliatory strike by Pakistan, complete silence reigns on the Pakistan-Afghanistan border. The guns from the Afghan side have fallen silent, and Pakistan is also not taking any action.
