“Cross-Border Firing at Ghora Key Area, Two Pakistani Security Personnel Injured”

KHYBER, AUGUST 14 (INDEPENDENT DESK)

A cross-border firing incident occurred at the Ghora Key area of the Pak-Afghan border, resulting in injuries to two Pakistani security personnel. The incident happened when Afghan Taliban forces allegedly crossed into Pakistani territory and attempted to build a post, prompting Pakistani border forces to intervene.

According to Aman Shinwari , the firing exchange took place in the Ghora Key mountainous area of Landi Kotal, Khyber district, after Afghan forces ignored warnings from Pakistani forces to stop construction work. The cross-border firing led to the closure of the Torkham border, and residents of the nearby area were evacuated to safer locations.

Sources confirmed that two Pakistani security personnel, Havaldar Akram and Sepoy Wahid, were injured in the firing from the Afghan side.
