Pakistani military suffered losses during shelling from Afghanistan

The shelling of the Pakistani border from the Afghan side was the first since the Taliban came to power in Kabul (banned in the Russian Federation as a terrorist organization). The shelling, according to the Pakistani military, killed two members of the Pakistani Armed Forces. Two or three attackers were killed in return fire.

The incident, reported by Al Jazeera, took place in the Bajaur area on the Afghan-Pakistani border. This area is included in the so-called. A "tribal zone" administered by the Federally Administered Tribal Areas Agency of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan.

In fact, Bajaur is a tribal area where the laws of Pakistan are almost non-existent. The Pakistani Taliban have been operating here for a long time *. After the Taliban came to power in Afghanistan, their Pakistani associates stepped up their actions in the Pashtun-populated areas of Pakistan. Here the Taliban find all-round support, given the ethnic composition of the region's population and the weak control over the tribal zone by the central authorities of Pakistan.

So far, the Pakistani special services have not reported what kind of radical group fired at the positions of the military, but it is likely that it was one of the Taliban detachments that retreated to Afghanistan. The Pakistani authorities strongly condemned the attack on the border post and stressed that they will oppose any attempts to encroach on the country's borders in the future.

After the Taliban came to power in Afghanistan, their Pakistani associates stepped up their actions in the Pashtun-populated areas of Pakistan. There are Taliban all-round support, taking into account the ethnic composition of the region's population

whatever one may say, but in my opinion everything is slowly moving towards the creation of a separate state Pashtunistan.

Pakistan itself created this Taliban monster and will soon get rid of it in full.

yes, it looks very odious. You understand that this is a remake, but it still evokes. It turns out that the shooters were delivered to Pakam. But what about their current friendship with China? Do the Chinese have our calibers?

Quite the opposite. The Pakistani Taliban attacked the secular military of Pakistan precisely because of the support of the Afghan Taliban who took power in the country. Now they will strike under the guise of borders and co-religionists much bolder. The Pakistani Taliban have never recognized the secular, about American power in Pakistan, and after the assassination of their leader by the Americans, they are generally at war with them.

No controversy. Pakistanis went to visit the Afghani, and the border guards wanted to interfere.

... Bagdasarov immediately / for a long time said that the "barmaley" chop off a specific region from Pakistan ... everything goes to that.
For whom this is news, he can drive his intelligence and analysts-advisers with a filthy broom !!!
They screwed up to the fullest ... however, maybe they were simply NOT LISTENED, but they make a scapegoat out of them! Which is also not uncommon.

their Pakistani associates stepped up their actions in the Pashtun-populated areas of Pakistan. This is where the Taliban find full support.

The Taliban went to visit their like-minded people, and the Pakistani border guards did not understand this? The Pakistani intelligence services, along with the Americans, took an active part in the creation of this movement, so there is nothing to blame the mirror if the face is crooked.

There will be Pashtunistan if everything continues this way. Events are developing too quickly, the reaction of all governments is delayed by an order of magnitude. Clearing the border area of ​​Pakistani government forces is a quick matter. The Taliban do not need large cities, they have infrastructure, they need to be supported. They need small settlements for feeding and basing, creating manpower. Soon events will roll like stones from the mountain.

Experts predicted a march of the Taliban to the north, and they will stall in the south.
