Clash Erupts Between Taliban and Pakistani Forces

The Taliban and Pakistani forces clashed for hours late on Tuesday, November 15, near a borderline in the Dand-e-Patan district of the eastern Paktia Province. This comes two days after another clash that left casualties on the Pakistani side, forcing the country to close its key border crossing in the southern Kandahar province.

Tuesday’s clash erupted around 04:00 PM near the Kharlasi border crossing in the Dand-e-Patan district of Paktia and lasted for several hours, a source told Kabul Now. The clash ended on the same day, and there are no reports of casualties so far.
