BREAKING: Pakistan hits back at Taliban based across the border with Afghanistan after Taliban forces fired at Pakistani civilian areas earlier today. The Afghan Taliban’s Shakin base was destroyed in retaliatory fire by Pakistan.

⚠️ The Afghan Taliban Regime has initiated unprovoked firing and artillery strikes on Pakistani civilian populated areas earlier today. Pakistani forces are RESPONDING, as we speak.

⚠️ Terrorist FPV drone attack attempt repulsed at a military checkpost in Albat, Kharan district of Balochistan province. BLA (Fitna al-Hindustan/FAH) terrorists used 5 rudimentary FPV armed drones to target a military checkpost in Kharan. All the drones were shot down kinetically and electronically before they could reach their targets and detonate.

The State of Pakistan is aware that the components used in the Afghan Taliban Regime's suicide drones and the FPV drones supplied to their proxy, the Fitna al-Khawarij (FAK/TTP) terrorist group, come from Indian collaboration. We know that the 35RA-DLE engines used in the Afghan Taliban's drones are manufactured by two Chinese companies (Maitreya Haoxiang Technology and Mile Hao Xiang Technology). We know that the microchips found in these drones used by the Afghan Taliban Regime against Pakistan are from the Chinese company KST Digital. We know that the Indian company Macfos purchases the microchips required for drones in quantities reaching the hundreds of thousands. We know that an Indian company based in Bangalore named RC Dhamaka buys the drone powerplants/engines from the open market separately. We know that Indian Customs clears these critical drone components to be used for military means by a foreign entity, by mislabeling them as ordinary "electric motors." We know that Indian intelligence agencies store all these components that are required for the drones together in designated warehouses located in Bangalore, Pune, and New Delhi. We also know the location of these warehouses. We also know that India transports these drones to Afghanistan by the port of Chabahar and is also transferring these restricted defense equipment to Kabul, via air cargo. We know that these final drone assembly in Afghanistan is done with Indian on-ground technical assistance, at Kabul Polytechnic University and the National Development Corporation (NDC) using the components smuggled from India.

Aside from making armored vehicles, the Margalla Heavy Industries has recently signed an agreement with Chinese partners and local investors to set up a $2.25 billion lithium-ion battery manufacturing plant in Rawalpindi, Punjab, Pakistan.

Pakistan's Margalla Heavy Industries (a subsidiary of Heavy Industries Taxila) introduces the LIGER Armored Security Vehicle (ASV): Built on a rugged 25-tonne frame, the LIGER carries up to 11 personnel through the harshest terrain, powered by a 350 HP engine paired with a smooth automatic 6-speed transmission. The ASV can reach 110 km/h and covers a 400 km operational range on a single run. With B6 ballistic protection, pivot-to-infinite turning, and the ability to climb 60% gradients and hold 30% side slopes, the LIGER doesn't just move, it commands the battlefield.

A historic moment when key Muslim countries sit on one table to find peace!

Pakistan’s Field Marshal, Saudi Arabia’s Defense Minister, Iran’s SNSC Mohsen Rezaei and FM Abbas Araghchi, and Turkiye’s Intelligence Chief have started their meeting in Tehran. Regional security and peace is being discussed amongst the member countries of the Makkah Defence Alliance, and Iran.

High-level trilateral delegation from member countries of the Makkah Defence Alliance (Pakistan, Turkey and Saudi Arabia) have started a visit of the Islamic Republic of Iran today. Pakistan’s Field Marshal, Turkiye’s Intelligence Chief, and Saudi Arabia’s Defense Minister lead their respective sides. The visit will discuss various aspects of regional security.

The Afghan Taliban Regime's GDI is apparently recording statements of Afghan nationals who will claim that they are affiliated with ISKP or various other Afghan resistance militant groups and have been trained in training bases in Pakistan for fighting against Taliban Regime. These statements will then be presented to Russia, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan and Iran as evidence. These statements will also be proliferated through social media and Taliban officials will refer to these in their media interactions as well. Realizing that Russia is solely focused on ISKP threat, Taliban are making all possible efforts to frame Daesh as originating from Pakistan. With a fraction of this effort, they could actually address this terrorism problem.

A terrorist of the TTP (Fitna al-Khawarij) terror group met with Afghan Taliban Regime's Interior Minister Sirajuddin Haqqani in Khost, Afghanistan. During the meeting, he introduces himself as a TTP terrorist following which the Afghan Taliban regime leader caresses his face.

Dear @PICSSIsb, when something happens in the west it is labelled a “terrorist” attack, but when Pakistani blood is spilt suddenly everyone changes the word to “militant”. Why is that? Biased media coverage is so washed up in 2026.
