Pakistan’s security forces successfully thwarted an infiltration attempt by Khwarij militants on the Pak-Afghan border, killing 16 militants.  According to the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), the militants attempted to infiltrate the border in the Ghulam Khan Kaley area of North Waziristan.  The security forces promptly responded to the infiltration bid, killing 16 Khwarij militants.

Pakistan has repeatedly urged the Afghan interim government to ensure effective border management to prevent the use of Afghan soil for terrorist activities against Pakistan.  The ISPR stated that Pakistan expects the Afghan interim government to fulfill its responsibilities in this regard. The security forces remain committed to securing the country’s borders and eliminating terrorism.
