2 Pakistani Soldiers Killed by Gunmen in Afghanistan

Two Pakistani soldiers were killed in a cross-border attack by armed groups in Afghanistan on Sunday 29 August. Terrorists opened fire at a military checkpoint located on the border in Pakistan's northwestern Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province.

Quoted from the Xinhua page, Monday (30/8/2021), this incident was confirmed by the military media Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) in a statement.

As per intelligence reports, due to fire by Pakistani army forces, two to three terrorists were also killed and three to four terrorists injured, the statement added.

"Pakistan strongly condemns the use of Afghan land by terrorists for activities against Pakistan and hopes that future arrangements in Afghanistan will not permit such activities against Pakistan," the statement said.

Earlier, in a press conference, ISPR Director General Babar Iftikhar said his country hoped that the Afghan Taliban would keep their promise not to allow the country to be used against Pakistan or any other country.

Pakistan - Afghanistan Border
Pakistan is Afghanistan's longest border, which lies in the southeast.

Known as the Durand line, this border stretches for 1,510 miles (2,430 km). A formal treaty between British Raj diplomats (now known as Pakistan, India and Bangladesh) and the king of Afghanistan was made in November 1893.

The two governments officially marked the border in 1894 in an effort to promote peaceful relations and increase ease of trade.

The Duran line game togel online is often used as a benchmark by designating Afghanistan as the border zone between territory controlled by Russia and territory controlled by Britain. Its position separates the land of Pashtun temperatures between Afghanistan and Pakistan.

Today, this border is recognized as one of the most dangerous in the world. In 2007, the Afghan government repeated its refusal to accept the Durand line as Afghanistan's official border with Pakistan.
