Discussion on attack on Pakistan Rangers headquarters
Earlier, on Saturday, six people, including three paramilitary personnel, lost their lives in an attack on the headquarters of Pakistan Rangers in Karachi. No group immediately claimed responsibility for the attack, but Pakistani agencies have not ruled out the involvement of Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), which has a history of targeting paramilitary and military targets.
According to Pakistani claims, 29 terrorists have been killed in this action. Let us tell you that the areas of Paktika, Paktia and Kunar are located on Afghanistan’s eastern border with Pakistan and Islamabad has been saying for a long time that there is presence of anti-Pakistan terrorist groups in these areas. Now it remains to be seen what action Afghanistan takes against this operation, because in the last few days the tension between the two countries on the border has reached its peak.
