Pakistan's military has killed at least 29 militants in an operation near the Afghanistan border, the Associated Press reports, according to Israeli journalist Asaf Rozentsweig. Further details on the operation and independent confirmation are pending.
This report, shared by N12 journalist Asaf Rozentsweig, cites the Associated Press that Pakistan's military has killed at least 29 militants near the Afghanistan border. The operation follows a deepening cycle of cross-border violence: as The Zioneer reported earlier tonight (Mon 00:53 Jerusalem), the AP reported a similar death toll from a prior operation. Broader context includes Taliban claims on June 10 that Pakistani airstrikes killed 13 civilians in three Afghan provinces — claims Pakistan has not commented on. The current report's location along the disputed Durand Line, the specific timeframe, and independent corroboration remain unconfirmed.
