Pakistan Army Repels Afghan Taliban Attacks in Spin Boldak, Kurram

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.

Unfortunately 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 attack in Spin Boldak was not an isolated event. On night 14/15 October, Afghan Taliban and Fitna Al Khwarij tried to attack Pakistani border posts in Kurram Sector in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. 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 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.

However, in the face of heavy losses, the Afghan Taliban have now reportedly requested a ceasefire. However, the Pakistan Army continues its operation with full force, targeting enemy positions effectively.

Several Taliban posts and tanks, along with their crews, have been destroyed in the action. The military is specifically targeting the locations from where the attacks originated, with clear intent to neutralize the threat.

Security sources have also denied false claims being circulated on social media, where the Taliban are sharing fabricated videos suggesting that Pakistani military weapons have been captured. Officials confirm that these videos are baseless and part of a propaganda campaign.

The Pakistan Army has reaffirmed its commitment to defending the nation’s sovereignty and border integrity. Security officials state that the army is fully prepared to respond to any act of aggression and that any future provocation will be met with an even stronger and more unexpected response.

The situation remains tense, but Pakistan’s forces remain alert and ready to deal with any threat along the Afghan border.
