“Let the Afghan Taliban regime have no illusions: Pakistan will never tolerate attacks on its people or violations of its sovereignty,” the governor said.
KP’s Sacrifices in the Fight Against Terrorism
Kundi highlighted the sacrifices made by the people of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa in the fight against terrorism. He said the province had lost thousands of lives to militant violence while contributing to the country’s security.

According to security sources, the attack killed one civilian and injured five members of a family. A shell struck a house, causing casualties and prompting anger among local residents.
Security sources attributed the attack to the Afghan Taliban regime and said civilian areas had come under fire during the incident.
Pakistan Armed Forces Respond
Security sources said the Pakistan Armed Forces responded to the cross-border aggression and destroyed several Afghan Taliban posts during a retaliatory operation.
Pakistani troops deployed along the border remained on alert and prepared to respond to any further aggression, the sources added.
The incident has renewed concerns over civilian safety in border communities and the risk of further escalation along the Pakistan-Afghanistan frontier.
The account of the cross-border incident and the military response is based on statements attributed to security sources.
