KABUL (12 Oct 2025) — Reports from border regions suggest that several Afghan soldiers abandoned their posts and fled, leaving behind their military uniforms and equipment, amid intense clashes with Pakistani forces.
According to security sources, the retreat occurred after heavy retaliatory strikes by the Pakistan Army, which targeted multiple Afghan positions in response to earlier cross-border aggression.
Witnesses in nearby areas reported seeing discarded uniforms and military gear, indicating a hasty withdrawal by Afghan troops.
Officials in Islamabad have not issued a formal statement, while Afghan authorities have remained silent on the claims. The situation along the border remains tense, with reinforcements deployed on both sides.
