Pakistan PM: Militants Use Afghanistan Soil for Attacks on Pakistan

DID Press: Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has claimed that armed groups are using Afghan territory to carry out attacks against Pakistan, vowing that military operations will continue until the “last terrorist” is eliminated.

According to the Prime Minister’s Office, Sharif chaired a meeting of the provincial apex committee of the National Action Plan during his visit to Balochistan, where he discussed the recent security situation in the province.

Sharif accused India of supporting “terrorism from Afghan soil” and said Pakistan would continue to confront security threats with full force.

The remarks came after three deadly attacks in Balochistan over four days, which Pakistani officials said resulted in the deaths of 42 security personnel. Islamabad has also claimed that 54 militants were killed during retaliatory operations.

Sharif praised the country’s security forces and said the nation stands with them, adding that the fight against militant groups would continue until their complete elimination.

The statement followed similar accusations by Pakistan’s military spokesperson, Lieutenant General Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry, who alleged that Afghanistan’s Taliban authorities provide shelter and financial support to groups targeting Pakistan. He also claimed that three of four attackers involved in one recent assault were Afghan nationals.

Afghanistan’s Taliban authorities have repeatedly rejected such allegations, stating that they do not allow Afghan territory to be used against any country.
