A false report claiming that Pakistani security personnel were killed by Afghan forces in Paktia, Afghanistan, has been circulating through social media accounts and channels linked to hostile and extremist networks.
The claim that Afghan forces targeted and killed Pakistani security personnel in the Pak-Afghan border area is false and unfounded. According to the information available, no such incident took place along the Pak-Afghan border, and there is no verified report of Pakistani security personnel being killed in the purported attack.
The fabricated claim appears to have been circulated as part of an attempt to create confusion, inflame tensions, and distort the security situation along the Pakistan-Afghanistan border. Authorities and news organizations should exercise caution when dealing with such claims, particularly when reports originate from anonymous social-media accounts or sources with a record of disseminating misleading information.
The public is urged to rely on official statements and credible, independently verified news sources rather than forwarding unverified reports.
Key Fact
There is no verified evidence that Pakistani security personnel were killed by Afghan forces in Paktia, and no such border incident has been confirmed.
The circulation of the claim should therefore be treated as fake news unless credible evidence or an official confirmation establishes otherwise.
