A military statement said the deadly violence erupted when its forces carried out “intelligence-based” raids on militant locations in Dera Ismail Khan and North Waziristan, which borders Afghanistan.
The statement identified the slain militants as “khwarij,” a term employed by the government for individuals affiliated with the Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan, or TTP, a globally recognized terrorist organization.
Local security sources reported that the soldier fatalities occurred during clashes in the Waziristan area.
The official claims about militant casualties could not be verified by independent sources. The TTP did not comment on the reported clashes in the districts, where the militant group routinely attacks security forces and their installations.
Pakistan maintains that TTP leaders and fighters use sanctuaries in Afghanistan to orchestrate cross-border terrorism with the help of the neighboring country’s Taliban government, which has not yet received official recognition from any country.
The allegations have strained Islamabad's relationship with de facto Afghan leaders in Kabul, who consistently have denied the presence of the TTP or any other foreign terrorist organizations within their territory.
“One of the key issues bedeviling our relations remains the sanctuaries enjoyed by terrorists belonging to the TTP on Afghan territory,” Pakistani Foreign Ministry spokesperson Shafqat Ali Khan told a weekly news conference on Friday.
“We continue to remain engaged with Afghanistan and also make them realize that the long-term potential of the region, the bilateral cooperation and what it can bring for the benefit or welfare of the two countries will remain unmet unless this problem is resolved.”
UN backing
The latest report by the United Nations Analytical Support and Sanctions Monitoring Team, released earlier this week, highlights Islamabad’s concerns, stating that the TTP has "significantly increased” its attacks in Pakistan and from Afghan territory.
The report stated that Taliban authorities in Afghanistan “continued to provide the TTP with logistical and operational space and financial support.” It added that the group "established new training centers" in the Afghan provinces of Kunar, Nangarhar, Khost and Paktika "while enhancing recruitment within TTP cadres, including from the Afghan Taliban."
The U.N. assessment also emphasized the growing terrorism threat from al-Qaida and the regional Islamic State affiliate operating in Afghanistan since the Taliban retook control of the country in 2021.
“The Taliban maintained a permissive environment allowing al-Qaida to consolidate, with the presence of safe houses and training camps scattered across Afghanistan,” the report said.
It stated that Afghanistan “remained the main hub” for the regional Islamic State affiliate, known as Islamic State-Khorasan (IS-K), primarily “for its recruitment and facilitation.”
The spokesperson for the Taliban government dismissed U.N. findings on Friday as “inaccurate” and contrary to reality.
"The Islamic Emirate [Taliban government] does not allow any foreign, rogue group to operate in Afghanistan, and such groups are not present here,” Zabihullah Mujahid told the local TOLO news channel.
“Unfortunately, some countries and intelligence circles, through organizations like the United Nations and the Security Council, are tarnishing public opinion and waging propaganda and campaigns against Afghanistan,” Mujahid stated, without elaborating.
