As a result of clashes between the forces of the Islamic Emirate and the Pakistani military, two people, including a woman, have been killed, and eleven others injured.
Local residents reported that since Wednesday evening of last week, intermittent clashes between the Islamic Emirate forces and the Pakistani military have been ongoing in the Zazai Maidan district of Khost province.
According to them, a large number of families along the Durand Line have migrated to nearby areas.
“We have two martyrs, including one woman, and about eleven injured,” said Thamin Khan, a resident of Zazi Maidan district.
“Bullets have struck near homes, and it is unclear what will happen next. This situation has caused problems for the people, and they have migrated,” Mohibullah, another resident, told TOLOnews.
Meanwhile, on Saturday night, the Deputy Governor of Khost, during his visit to the Zazai Maidan district, told the residents and the forces stationed along the Durand Line to respond appropriately to any attacks.
At the same time, the Deputy Minister of Borders and Tribal Affairs in Kabul said that this issue was resolved last night.
Mohammad Ismail Ghaznawi, Deputy Minister of Borders and Tribal Affairs, said: “The incident that took place in the Zazai Maidan district of Khost was resolved last night at 10:30PM.”
Although officials have not provided new details regarding the clashes and casualties in the Zazai Maidan district of Khost, the Ministry of Defense has said that while building a security outpost by the Islamic Emirate forces, Pakistani soldiers opened fire, prompting a similar response from the Islamic Emirate forces, leading to a confrontation.
