Use of Afghan soil for terror against Pakistan unacceptable: Army chief Munir

In a recent visit to Wana in the South Waziristan district, Army Chief General Asim Munir emphasized Pakistan's stance against the use of Afghan territory for terrorist activities. During his visit, he assessed the security landscape and operational readiness along the Pakistan-Afghanistan border, highlighting the ongoing challenges posed by militancy in the region. Munir's remarks come in light of increasing tensions regarding cross-border terrorism, which he termed 'unacceptable.' His visit underscores the Pakistan Army's commitment to maintaining security and stability in the area, particularly as it grapples with threats that exploit the porous border with Afghanistan. The region has a complex history of violence, and Munir's statements reflect a broader concern about the implications of Afghan soil being used for attacks against Pakistan, stressing the need for collaborative efforts to combat terrorism effectively. This visit and its accompanying messages aim to reassure the local populace about the army's resolve to protect national sovereignty and address security threats head-on.
