Taliban Captures Torkham Border: The Taliban has claimed to capture the Tarkham border with Pakistan. This border is a very important border crossing between Pakistan and Afghanistan, through which the trade and everyday needs of both countries are met. But this crossing was closed by Pakistan a few weeks ago. Since then, there was a continuous clash between the Taliban and the Pakistani Army, which intensified on Monday (March 3). Now the Taliban claimed that the Pakistani army had to run away from the Torkham border post after heavy firing during the clash and the army was injured.
Firing between the Taliban-Pakistani army continued continuously
CNN, quoting top sources, said in its report that in the last few days, the dispute and tension over the border increased significantly. He said on Monday (March 3), a new border post was being constructed by Afghanistan on the Tarkham border, after which the firing started between Afghani and the Pakistani army on the Torkham border for more than a week after the dispute over a week. Initially, light weapons were used from both sides. But later the Taliban and the Pakistani army attacked each other with heavy weapons.
Why Pakistan stopped the border crossing
The report stated that the Taliban has allegedly constructed new structures such as border posts and bunkers, which Pakistan had called a violation of previous agreements. Pakistan considers this area as its own and the Pakistani army closed the crossing as a dispute with the Taliban escalated. This affected the trade and everyday needs of both countries. At the same time, business activities along the Tarkham border have been suspended due to the increase in dispute and all the export vehicles parked on the cumin point were sent back.
What did the Taliban say,
According to CNN report, the Taliban said, “Pakistan is making wrong accusations of sending terrorists.” The report quoted sources as saying that the economic impact of the shutdown of the border is more troublesome for Pakistan and it is suffering heavy losses every day. ”
