ISLAMABAD: Pakistan on Wednesday dismissed a statement by the Afghan Taliban regime regarding the firing incident at Angoor Adda area of South Waziristan near the Pakistan-Afghanistan border, terming it a fabrication of lies.
Pakistan’s information ministry said the Afghan Taliban regime’s latest fabrication of lies about the border incident again confirms their deceitful character.
“The fact of the matter is that their cowardly forces initiated unprovoked fire and mortar shelling on unarmed civilians on the Pakistani side, following the pattern and instructions of their proxy masters, India,” the information ministry said.
Pakistan Army delivered a befitting response to the Afghan Taliban regime’s unprovoked aggression after the Taliban targeted the civilian population in the Angoor Adda, killing one person and injuring five members of the same family, security sources said on Tuesday.

◼️ Immediate, effective and disproportionate response by our brave and proud security forces not only silenced their guns but inflicted heavy casualties to their men in addition to material losses including destruction of seven posts.
◼️ Such lies of Taliban regime so called official spokespersons carry no value and are part of a litany of fabricated stories that they keep on telling, mostly to their own people suffering under their imposed and non representative regime.

The governor added that KP had sacrificed thousands of lives in the fight against terrorism, and we will not allow anyone to threaten our people or undermine our security.
Strongly condemn the unprovoked and blatant aggression by the Afghan Taliban regime against civilian homes and Angoor Adda Bazaar in Lower South Waziristan. I salute the Pakistan Armed Forces for their swift, forceful and decisive response. Let the Afghan Taliban regime have no illusions: Pakistan will never tolerate attacks on its people or violations of its sovereignty. Khyber Pakhtunkhwa has sacrificed thousands of lives in the fight against terrorism, and we will not allow anyone to threaten our people or undermine our security. Any aggression against Pakistan will be confronted with unwavering resolve. Our armed forces have the full backing of the nation to defend every inch of our soil, and no threat or hostile act will weaken our determination to protect Pakistan.
