Afghan National Defence Forces retaliate against Pakistani airstrikes in eastern Afghanistan, targeting Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) terrorists. Afghan troops engage in gunfire along the Durand Line, with mortar shells landing in Pakistani territory. Taliban condemns the airstrikes, vowing retaliation, alleging civilian casualties. Pakistan issues directives to provincial governments after the attacks coincide with Afghan repatriation and Ramadan. Over 500,000 illegal Afghan citizens deported as part of the ongoing repatriation effort.
