# Escalation at the Border: Pakistan Captures 19 Border Posts in Afghanistan

The situation on the border between Pakistan and Afghanistan has sharply escalated following a series of armed clashes. Pakistani military forces have announced a decisive step, occupying 19 border posts on Afghan territory, which, according to Islamabad's statement, were systematically used for shelling and sabotage against Pakistani targets.
As reported by BAKU.WS citing Pakistani television channel Geo, which quotes high-ranking sources in the country's security structures, "Pakistan has occupied 19 Afghan posts along the border." These facilities, as claimed by Pakistani security representatives, were previously used to organize attacks against both Pakistani military and civilian targets on their territory. The captured positions are located in areas where armed incidents and border firefights have been repeatedly recorded over the past month, indicating prolonged and escalating tensions.
Against the backdrop of these events, Pakistani authorities are considering the possibility of further strengthening military presence along the entire line of contact with Afghanistan. This step could lead to a serious escalation of the already complex relations between the two neighboring states. Official representatives of Afghanistan, under the governance of the Taliban movement, have so far refrained from any comments regarding what has occurred, which only adds to the uncertainty in the development of the situation. The international community is closely monitoring the development of events, calling on the parties to exercise restraint and seek diplomatic solutions to prevent a full-scale conflict.
