BREAKING: Afghan Taliban Strikes Pakistan; Heavy Fighting On 7 Border Points Along Durand Line
Intense fighting has broken out along the Pakistan-Afghanistan border, with Taliban forces launching a major assault on Pakistani military posts late Saturday night. The clashes mark a dramatic escalation following Pakistan’s airstrikes in Kabul earlier this week, according to security officials from both sides. Taliban commanders allege that Islamabad targeted Afghan territory, prompting armed reprisals in which they claim to have seized two Pakistani border posts in Helmand province — a claim partially confirmed by local authorities.This latest border flare-up underscores the deepening tensions between Pakistan and the Taliban government since the fall of Kabul in 2021, raising fears of a wider regional conflict.

Firefights erupt between Pakistani and Afghan forces along the border
By Mohammad Yunus Yawar, Mushtaq Ali and Saeed Shah

ISLAMABAD, Oct 11 (Reuters) - Firefights broke out along the Pakistan-Afghanistan border late on Saturday, with the Afghan Taliban attacking Pakistani posts, according to security officials from both countries, following a Pakistani airstrike in Kabul this week.
Pakistani security officials said that they were responding "with full force" to what they called unprovoked firing from Afghanistan. The exchange of fire took place at more than six locations along the border, they said.
The Taliban forces said they captured three Pakistani border posts. Pakistani security officials said their military had destroyed several Afghan posts.
Video footage shared by Pakistani security officials showed gun and artillery firing towards Afghanistan, lighting up the night sky.
RETALIATION FOR PAKISTANI AIRSTRIKES
Enayatullah Khowarazmi, spokesperson for Afghanistan's Ministry of Defense, said it was a retaliatory operation for Pakistan's violation of Afghan airspace. He said the attack concluded at midnight local time.
"If the opposing side again violates Afghanistan's airspace, our armed forces are prepared to defend their airspace and will deliver a strong response," Khowarazmi said.
There was no immediate response from Pakistan on whether the clashes had ended. The border runs for 2,600 km (1,615 miles).
Islamabad accuses the Afghan Taliban administration of harbouring militants of the Pakistani Taliban who attack Pakistan, with the support of Pakistan's adversary, India. New Delhi denies the charge, while the Taliban say that they do not allow their territory to be used against other countries.
A Pakistani security official had told Reuters this week that the airstrike had targeted the leader of the Pakistani Taliban militant group in Kabul, travelling in a vehicle. It was unclear if he had survived. Islamabad had warned Kabul that its patience had run out.
The Taliban administration's foreign minister visited India this week, the first such trip by a senior Taliban official since the group seized power in 2021, and the two sides agreed to upgrade ties. That visit raised further concerns in Pakistan.
There has been an upsurge in attacks by militants in Pakistan since the Taliban came to power.

Fair: Trump Sets Letitia James's Bail At $355 Million
U.S. — In an effort to ensure equal treatment of all people under the law, President Trump has set Letitia James's bail at $355 million.
Pundits have applauded Trump setting the high bail number to make the financial ramifications of James's crime fair and just.
"We just want everyone to be treated equally," said a smiling Trump. "I will not charge her one penny more than she charged me. I'm a tough guy, but I'm a fair guy. I thought about making it a bigger number. I can think of such big numbers, the biggest numbers, believe me, I thought of them, right here in my head. But I decided not to do that to her, because I care too much about bringing the country back together."
While Ms. James expressed outrage at the high number, President Trump stated that she should really be worried more about the interest rate. "The interest on $355 million, it's going to be a killer, let me tell you," said Trump. "But you have to take it up with Jerome Powell. Do you know Letitia had a billboard made to show how much money she was coming after me for, with interest and everything? Nasty woman. I almost feel bad for her with the interest rates being so terrible, but that's all Jerome. He's an idiot, really a low-IQ guy, Jerome."
