On Friday, Pakistani security personnel reported eliminating 30 insurgents who tried to cross into the nation from Afghanistan, according to statements from the armed forces.
The report stated that members of the Pakistani Taliban, formally called Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan, were seen during the night in the North Waziristan area within the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa region, where security forces confiscated arms, bullets, and explosive materials from the insurgents.
The armed forces' announcement provided no additional information regarding the mission.
The armed forces accused the insurgents of receiving support from India and urged the Afghan authorities to stop allowing their land to be used by "external agents" for launching attacks against Pakistan.
No statement was immediately issued by New Delhi.
Authorities in Pakistan frequently allege that India supports banned organizations such as the Baloch Liberation Army and the Pakistani Taliban, which carry out violent acts within Pakistan.
These allegations have grown more frequent following a shooting incident in Indian-administered Kashmir in April, which raised tensions between the two nuclear-capable countries.
Both Pakistani President Asif Ali Zardari and Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif commended the country's security forces for carrying out the successful mission effectively.
In April, Pakistani forces eliminated 54 militants in the same region.
In recent months, militant violence has increased sharply in Pakistan, with much of the blame attributed to the Pakistani Taliban.
This faction operates independently of the Afghan Taliban yet maintains strong ties with them. Since the Taliban seized power in 2021, numerous members and commanders have taken refuge within Afghanistan.
