Mullah Mohammad Yaqoob Mujahid, the Taliban's Defense Minister, has urged the neighboring country not to create challenges along the Durand Line.
Tarz Press: Mullah Yaqoob made these remarks today, Sunday, August 18th, during a ceremony in Kabul commemorating the anniversary of Afghanistan's independence. He emphasized that the establishment of outposts along the Durand Line is not meant to challenge the neighboring country but to ensure the security of Afghanistan. Mullah Yaqoob reiterated that the Taliban will protect Afghanistan at any cost.
The senior Taliban official did not provide further details, but according to recent reports, the Taliban are typically concerned about the infiltration of Pakistani military forces on the Afghan side of the Durand Line. Additionally, there have been numerous reports of Pakistani military jets violating Afghan airspace, which has significantly strained relations between the Taliban and Pakistan.
