Pakistan’s security forces have reportedly secured around 32 square kilometres of territory in the Zhob sector near the Afghanistan border, an area described as the “Ghudwana Enclave,” amid ongoing cross-border clashes. Officials say the strategic zone had been used as a logistical corridor by Taa-liban -linked militants, and its capture is part of a broader effort to strengthen border security.
According to security sources, the operation followed intense exchanges along the frontier after repeated firing incidents were reported from positions across the Afghan side. The move is being seen as a tactical step aimed at disrupting militant movement and tightening control in sensitive border regions.
Consolidation efforts are now underway to stabilise the newly secured area and prevent re-infiltration, with ground forces clearing remaining pockets of resistance. The development comes amid rising tensions along the Pakistan-Afghanistan border, where both sides have traded accusations over cross-border militant activity.
