Afghanistan-Pakistan border clash in Zhob sector
Pakistan reportedly targeted two Taliban border outposts in Zhob sector on 11 March, forcing withdrawal and seizing weapons amid ongoing Afghanistan-Pakistan conflict.
On 11 March 2026, Pakistani officials stated that they targeted and destroyed two Taliban border outposts along the Zhob sector of the Afghanistan-Pakistan border, compelling Taliban fighters to abandon their positions. Security forces reportedly seized several weapons, including Russian-made 73 mm HGL-9 heavy grenade launchers. The incident occurred within the broader Afghanistan–Pakistan conflict that began in February 2026, after Pakistan launched airstrikes in Afghan territory targeting militant camps linked to the Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan and ISIS–K and declared an "open war" with the Taliban-led Afghan government. The Zhob clash reflects continued cross-border tensions and fighting along the Durand Line despite prior ceasefire attempts.
