Punjab Chief Minister Praises Pakistan Army’s Response to Taliban

Sharif stated that the Pakistani Army defended the country’s borders with “courage, wisdom, and strong unity.” She described Pakistan’s borders as a “sacred trust” of the nation and emphasized that protecting them is a national duty.

These remarks come in the wake of last night’s clashes between Pakistani forces and the Taliban along the Afghanistan-Pakistan border. Taliban spokespersons had earlier announced that they had carried out retaliatory attacks against Pakistan in response to airstrikes and violations of Afghan airspace by Pakistani forces.
