Pakistan destroys Taliban border posts near South Waziristan
Security sources say heavy weapons forced Afghan Taliban fighters to abandon posts after firing from across the border killed one civilian and wounded five in Lower South Waziristan.
The Pakistan Army destroyed several Afghan Taliban posts and military positions near South Waziristan and Parachinar, state media said Friday, citing security sources.
The action followed firing from Afghan territory on Pakistani posts and homes in Angoor Adda, which killed one local and injured five members of one family.
Security sources said several Afghan Taliban personnel were killed and fighters abandoned their posts under heavy Pakistani fire.
Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Governor Faisal Karim Kundi said Pakistan would not tolerate attacks on its people or sovereignty.
Islamabad rejected an Afghan defence ministry claim that Pakistan was the aggressor, calling it a fabrication.
