至少七名巴基斯坦士兵在有争议的杜兰线上与阿富汗军队的激烈交火中丧生，随着两国邻国在边境安全和武装分子流动问题上的紧张局势持续升级。激烈交火发生在阿富汗帕克蒂亚省的中午左右，特别是在丹德帕坦地区，靠近战略要地卡拉恰伊门以及托普萨尔和康贾利地区。根据可获得的信息，冲突破坏了跨境贸易，并迫使附近村庄的居民逃离。
At least seven Pakistani soldiers were killed in fierce cross-border clashes with Afghan forces along the disputed Durand Line, as tensions between the two neighbours continued to simmer over border security and militant movement. The heavy fighting broke out around midday in Afghanistan’s Paktia province, particularly in Dand Patan district, near the strategic Kharlaachi Gate and the Top Sar and Konj Ali sectors. The clashes disrupted cross-border trade and forced residents of nearby villages to flee, according to the information available.
阿富汗安全部门消息人士称，他们的部队是对巴基斯坦的开火作出回应，并指责伊斯兰堡一直在修建未经授权的边境哨所。他们声称，交火导致巴基斯坦军方人员伤亡。然而，巴基斯坦官员则指责阿富汗边境警卫在巴基斯坦库拉姆地区的检查站开火，称其部队发动了相称的报复性反击。这些相互矛盾的说法无法得到独立验证。
Afghan security sources said their forces had responded to Pakistani firing and alleged that Islamabad had been constructing unauthorised border outposts. They claimed the fighting inflicted casualties on Pakistani military personnel. Pakistani officials, however, blamed Afghan border guards for opening fire on checkpoints in Pakistan’s Kurram district, saying their forces launched a proportionate retaliatory response. The competing accounts could not be independently verified.PAKISTAN-AFGHANISTAN TENSIONS ESCALATEThe latest clashes come amid worsening relations between Pakistan and Afghanistan, with repeated border confrontations fuelled by disputes over militant activity, cross-border attacks and military installations.
巴基斯坦-阿富汗紧张局势升级最新冲突发生在巴基斯坦与阿富汗关系恶化之际，反复的边境冲突源于对武装分子活动、跨境袭击和军事设施的争议。巴基斯坦指责阿富汗塔利班当局允许巴基斯坦塔利班运动（TTP）的武装分子在阿富汗领土上活动并从阿富汗境内发动袭击。喀布尔否认了这些指控。周六，巴基斯坦军队和阿富汗塔利班人员在巴基斯坦库拉姆地区西北部边境的几个地点也发生了交火。
Pakistan has accused Afghanistan’s Taliban authorities of allowing militants from the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) to operate from Afghan territory and launch attacks inside Pakistan. Kabul has denied the allegations. On Saturday, Pakistani forces and Afghan Taliban personnel also exchanged fire at several locations along the northwestern border in Pakistan’s Kurram district.
巴基斯坦安全部门官员称，其部队在炮兵支援下，瞄准塔利班阵地并挫败了来自阿富汗武装分子的渗透企图。
Pakistani security officials said their troops, backed by artillery, targeted Taliban positions and thwarted an attempted infiltration by militants from Afghanistan.
塔利班政府尚未立即对该事件发表评论。最新的战斗再次凸显，有争议边境沿线的安全局势脆弱不堪，边境管控、武装分子活动和军事部署方面的分歧已多次引发武装冲突。

The Taliban government had not immediately commented on that incident. The latest fighting underscores the fragility of security along the disputed frontier, where disagreements over border controls, militant movements and military deployments have repeatedly triggered armed confrontations.- Ends
