The Taliban have launched a coordinated multi-front offensive targeting Pakistan’s Frontier Corps posts and infrastructure along the Durand Line, in what sources describe as a strategic message to Islamabad.
Footage accessed by CNN-News18 from the Dangam and Birkot sectors shows multiple artillery barrages striking Pakistani positions. Heavy shelling and drone-supported attacks were reported across Kunar and Nangarhar provinces, marking a military escalation not seen since 2021.
Top Taliban sources said the offensive involved simultaneous retaliatory assaults from Helmand, Paktia, Kunar, Nangarhar, and Khost provinces, aimed at Pakistani check posts in Kurram, Bajaur, and North Waziristan. Early reports indicate intense cross-border fire around Guwi Sar, Spina Shaga, and Poline, with Taliban units employing artillery, mortars, and light drones for precision strikes.
