Taliban Yet to Respond After Heavy Afghanistan-Pakistan Border Firing in Kandahar

Early this morning, heavy firing was reported between Afghan and Pakistani border forces near the Chaman border area, with the Afghan side in Spin Boldak district of Kandahar Province. Local sources say several Afghan Taliban fighters were wounded in the exchange, with injured fighters quickly taken away for treatment and rescue teams transporting dead bodies to hospitals. It has been around seven to eight hours since the incident, and there is still no official response from Taliban authorities. Local Afghan reporters and residents say they are trying to obtain information on casualties and the overall situation, but Taliban officials have reportedly not allowed media access or shared any details. No confirmation has been given on fatalities or injuries, and the ongoing silence has raised questions about whether more details will emerge. As of now, there has been no clear official statement.
