Pakistan's foreign ministry summoned the Taliban's deputy head of mission, urging action against militant groups based in Afghanistan. This demand came after a deadly assault on a military base in Bannu, northwestern Pakistan, on July 15.
The attackers, identified as members of the Hafiz Gul Bahadur Group, targeted the base by driving an explosive-laden vehicle into its perimeter wall, resulting in the deaths of eight Pakistani security personnel. Pakistan's military claims that this militant group operates from Afghanistan.
Islamabad has consistently raised concerns about the increasing number of cross-border attacks with the Taliban administration, heightening tensions between the neighboring countries. In recent years, security forces from both nations have frequently clashed along their shared border.
