DG ISPR, Lieutenant General Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry, revealed that during the U.S. troop withdrawal from Afghanistan, military equipment worth $7.2 billion was left behind, posing a major security threat to the region. According to him, the Afghan Taliban regime has become a danger not only to Pakistan but to the entire region and the world.
He stated that since November 4, 2025, a total of 4,910 intelligence-based operations have been conducted, resulting in 206 terrorists killed, while 67,023 operations were carried out across the country this year, eliminating 1,873 terrorists, including 136 Afghans.
The DG ISPR highlighted that the Pak-Afghan border is extremely challenging and difficult to monitor, with some posts separated by 20–25 km and divided villages on both sides, making effective control a major challenge. He emphasized that terrorist infiltration from Afghanistan is fully facilitated by the Taliban regime.
He warned that strong political-terror-crime nexus exists along the border, and non-custom paid vehicles are part of this network and are used in suicide attacks.
DG ISPR stated that Pakistan demands the Afghan Taliban cease facilitating terrorists and implement a verifiable mechanism under the Doha Agreement. He added that it is illogical for the Taliban to claim that militants are “guests” in Pakistan; if they are Pakistani citizens, they must be handed over according to the law.
He also pointed out that the Taliban regime harbors non-state actors in Afghanistan, which pose a threat to the entire region, and has not honored the commitments made under the Doha Agreement. The Taliban government does not represent all ethnicities nor half of Afghan women, making Pakistan’s issue with the Taliban regime, not Afghan civilians.
He criticized India’s military claims, calling them “self-deception,” and warned that external social media accounts are spreading poisonous narratives against Pakistan.
