Afghanistan\u2019s Ministry of Defence said its forces killed 28 fighters in the eastern province of Nuristan who had crossed the border from Pakistan.<\/p>\n

In a statement posted to X, the Taliban\u2019s defence ministry confirmed it had engaged in clashes with the opposing group on Sunday.<\/p>\n

The defence ministry alleged that most of the fighters were former Afghan government security personnel recruited by Pakistan\u2019s intelligence services with promises of asylum and well-paid employment in foreign countries.<\/p>\n

The defence ministry claimed the fighters included ISIL (ISIS) fighters who were supported by Pakistani militias.<\/p>\n

Pakistan\u2019s Ministry of Information and Broadcasting rejected the allegations, describing them in a post on X as \u201cfrivolous, baseless and devoid of any truth\u201d.<\/p>\n

Pakistan denied that its security forces or intelligence agencies were involved in clashes in Nuristan, had recruited or trained former Afghan security personnel, or had facilitated ISIL (ISIS) or other armed groups in Afghanistan.<\/p>\n

Pakistan\u2019s information ministry also said the Taliban \u201cshould take credible and verifiable action against terrorist organisations operating from its territory\u201d and fulfil its obligation so that \u201cAfghan soil will not be used for terrorism against Pakistan or any other country rather than attempting to deflect responsibility through fabricated accusations\u201d.<\/p>\n

Escalating tensions<\/h2>\n

The clashes follow increasing tension between the two countries.<\/p>\n

Last week, Pakistan launched<\/a> air strikes on 10 locations in Afghanistan it said were used to store and launch drones, some of which were used in cross-border attacks.<\/p>\n

The Pakistani air strikes on Thursday killed at least four people, a spokesman for the Afghan Taliban government said while promising to deliver an \u201cappropriate response\u201d.<\/p>\n

Pakistan has repeatedly accused Afghanistan of sheltering fighters who attack its territory, a charge Kabul denies.<\/p>\n

Sunday\u2019s incident also follows Pakistani air strikes in Afghanistan on September 21 that Islamabad said killed 28 fighters. Afghan officials said civilians were killed and the U.N. mission in Afghanistan confirmed three civilian deaths.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
