For the second time in a week, Taliban and Pakistani troops clashed at the Durand Line border after troops tried to extend a barbed wire fence in Afghanistan.
According to local media reports, the clashes took place on Thursday in Afghanistan’s southeastern province of Nimroz in the Charborjak region.
Pakistani troops reportedly tried to extend the border fence 10 kilometers to Afghanistan, prompting Taliban crews to cut down ropes.
On December 22, the two armies clashed in the eastern province of Nangarhar over a fence.
