On September 27, 2026, Afghanistan's Defence Ministry reported that its forces had killed 28 fighters and wounded 32 in Nuristan province after the group crossed from Pakistan. The ministry alleged that this incursion included Islamic State militants and was supported by Pakistani militias, with many of the attackers being former Afghan government security personnel trained in Pakistan. This claim comes amid escalating tensions between the two countries; Pakistan had conducted airstrikes on September 21, claiming to target militants but causing civilian casualties according to Afghanistan’s officials.

Story summary
Pakistani forces launched airstrikes and engaged in border clashes with Afghan Taliban fighters, resulting in the deaths of at least 13 Taliban personnel, according to Pakistan's information ministry. This follows Pakistani claims that drones launched from Afghanistan violated its airspace on September 24, prompting retaliatory strikes in Afghan territory. The Afghan government denies these actions and accuses Pakistan of state involvement in an armed incursion near Nuristan province, where it says its forces killed 28 fighters and wounded 32. Both sides have accused each other of harboring terrorist groups that attack their territories, with tensions escalating along the Pakistan-Afghan border in Balochistan.
