Claims about the fall of Pakistan's Dera Ismail Khan

Afghan Voice Agency (AVA): Pakistani Taliban (TTP) have claimed that they attacked another district in Dera Ismail Khan district of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa last night.

 

So far, it is not clear whether this district has fallen or not.

 

According to Pakistani media, Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan claimed that they had captured two security checkpoints in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province of this country.

 

Mohammad Khorasani, the spokesman of the Pakistani Taliban, said that six soldiers of the Pakistani army were killed as a result of this attack.

 

The spokesperson of Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan claimed that this group has captured many villages in Chitral, which borders Afghanistan's Kunar, Nuristan and Badakhshan provinces.

 

Meanwhile, Pakistani media quoted a senior security official of the country as reporting that Pakistani soldiers on Wednesday repelled a deadly cross-border attack from Afghanistan by hundreds of Pakistani Taliban fighters.

 

On the other hand, based on the reports, as a result of the clashes between the Pakistani army and Tehreek-e-Taliban in Chitral district of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, 12 TTP fighters were also killed and some of them were injured.

 

The Islamic Emirate, however, says that these groups did not attack Pakistan from the territory of Afghanistan and that Pakistan should focus on its own territory and security.

 

Zabihullah Mujahid, the spokesman of the Islamic Emirate, emphasizes that Afghanistan will not allow any group to go to Pakistan and attack this country.
