The officials stated that the firing, which began in the morning from both sides, ceased after some time, however, the situation worsened again in the afternoon.
According to Pakistan Standard Time, the firing from both sides resumed after 4:30 pm. Officials of the interim administration of Afghanistan's Helmand province have also confirmed this clash. Sources stated that the Pak army deployed tanks and the posts built on the Afghan border were targeted with heavy artillery. Pakistan And Afghanistan Are Arch Enemies
It is noteworthy that Pakistan and Afghan Taliban are staunch enemies, both celebrate the death of each other's soldiers. In fact, Afghanistan supporter-TTP is occupying Islamabad's military posts.
Despite a history of military defeats, Pakistani army generals continue to display medals. This practice has drawn mockery not from militaries of other countries, but from the Tehreek-e-Taliban. Faceoff Took Place 5 Months Ago
Five months ago, Pakistani troops stationed at a military base in Bajaur, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, were confronted when the Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) raised its flag at the base's entrance. On December 28th, this incident was followed by cross-border attacks on Pakistani territory by Afghan soldiers, with TTP providing support.
As per several media reports, as many as 19 Pak soldiers were killed in the attack.
The surprise attack shook the Pakistani government. Pak's foreign department spokesperson Mumtaz Zehra Baloch also admitted that the Taliban, which Islamabad had been helping for several years, has now become a problem for it.

And the fact is that India doesn't really need to justify itself. All these countries have had a relationship with India going back thousands of years," he added, "They know that we have not invaded any of our neighbouring countries.

Watch: When Shashi Tharoor faced a question from his son Ishan in the US – ‘I didn't plant it, I promise you'
Congress Member of Parliament (MP) Shashi Tharoor faced a sharp question from his son Ishan Tharoor during an interaction at the Council on Foreign Relations during Operation Sindoor global outreach in New York on Thursday. When Ishan, who is Foreign affairs columnist at the Washington Post, stood up to pose a question, his father Shashi responded by saying 'that shoudn't be allowed, that is my son' and every one broke in a laughter. Ishan asked his father about whether any country had asked the delegation for evidence of Pakistan's involvement in the Pahalgam attack and about Pakistan's repeated denials of any role in the attack. While Ishan spoke, Tharoor asked him to raise his mike to be audible. 'I'm very glad you raised this. I didn't plant it, I promise you. Very simply, no one had any doubt, and we were not asked for evidence. But the media have asked in two or three places. Let me say very clearly that India would not have done this without convincing evidence.' the Congress leader responded. Tharoor is part of an all-party delegation travelling abroad as part of the Prime Minister Narendra Modi government's diplomatic outreach to highlight India's stand on terrorism following 'Operation Sindoor'. 'But there were three particular reasons I want to draw your attention to all of you. The first is that we've had a 37-year pattern of repeated terror attacks from Pakistan, accompanied by repeated denials. I mean, Americans haven't forgotten that Pakistan didn't know, allegedly, where Osama bin Laden was until he was found in a Pakistani safe house right next to an army camp in a cantonment city,' Tharoor said. Tharoor is part of an all-party delegation travelling abroad as part of the Prime Minister Narendra Modi government's diplomatic outreach to highlight India's stand on terrorism following'Operation Sindoor'. "That's Pakistan. Mumbai attacks- they denied having anything to do with we know what Pakistan's all about. They will dispatch terrorists, they will deny they did so until they're actually caught with red hands," he said.
