Pakistani security forces successfully thwarted an attempt by militants to sneak into the country from Afghanistan, resulting in the death of seven insurgents in a remote northwestern border area. The incident took place near Ghulam Khan, a border town in northwestern Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province.
The military's statement highlighted Pakistan's longstanding call for Afghanistan to enhance border management measures. Pakistan has consistently raised concerns about militants operating near the frontier and has accused Kabul of neglecting the issue, a claim that Afghan authorities have refuted.
