Pakistan's security department says it killed several Afghan armed personnel.

Pakistan's security sources said on the 17th that Afghan armed personnel opened fire without provocation that day in the Pakistan-Afghanistan border area of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Province in northwestern Pakistan, and Pakistan's security forces responded effectively. The sources said that Afghan armed personnel opened fire without provocation in the Pakistan-Afghanistan border area of the Kurram district of the province, attempting to facilitate terrorists' cross-border movement. In response, Pakistan's security forces struck an Afghan armed border post and a military camp, killing several Afghan armed personnel. The Afghan armed personnel abandoned the post and withdrew, and their camp was destroyed. The sources said that exchanges of fire in the area are still ongoing. Pakistan's security forces will maintain high vigilance and firmly defend the national border and safeguard national security.
