A Field Marshal of the Pakistan Army has issued a strong warning to the Afghan Taliban regime, urging it to rein in militant proxies responsible for recent cross-border attacks inside Pakistan. The senior military official cautioned that every state proxy of Pakistan’s neighbor “will be reduced to dust” if aggression continues.
Strong Message to Kabul
During a high-level military briefing on national security, the Field Marshal condemned the increasing frequency of terrorist incidents in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Balochistan, allegedly originating from across the Afghan border.
He said Pakistan has repeatedly raised concerns with the interim Afghan government about harboring militant groups operating under the guise of “non-state actors.”
“Pakistan has shown restraint and patience,” the Field Marshal said. “But if these proxies continue to violate our sovereignty, every state proxy of our neighbor will be reduced to dust.”
Border Security Under Strain
Security forces have reported multiple cross-border attacks targeting checkposts and convoys, resulting in casualties among Pakistani troops.
Officials confirmed that intelligence reports trace the origins of several attacks to elements based in Afghanistan’s Kunar and Nangarhar provinces, believed to be aligned with anti-Pakistan groups.
The Field Marshal reaffirmed that Pakistan’s Armed Forces remain fully capable of responding to any provocation and will take decisive action to defend the country’s territorial integrity.
Call for Diplomatic and Regional Cooperation
The military leader also called for regional cooperation to combat terrorism, urging the Taliban-led administration in Kabul to fulfill its international commitments and prevent its soil from being used against Pakistan.
“Peace in the region is only possible through responsible governance and mutual respect for sovereignty,” he added.
He reiterated Pakistan’s support for a stable and peaceful Afghanistan, emphasizing that both nations’ futures are intertwined through shared borders and cultural ties — but warned that continued tolerance of militant groups could severely damage bilateral relations.
Conclusion
The warning marks one of the strongest statements from Pakistan’s military establishment regarding Afghan-based militant activity in recent months. Analysts say the remarks underline growing frustration in Islamabad over Kabul’s failure to curb cross-border terrorism.
