Pakistan rejects Afghan claim of destroyed border post, says 13 Taliban killed
Most outlets led with Pakistan’s denial of Afghanistan’s claim that a border post near Spin Boldak was destroyed, describing the claim as false or fabricated. Several also reported that 13 Afghan Taliban fighters were killed in a border clash in the Gulistan sector. While some outlets, such as Geo News and Daily Times, framed the incident as a thwarted aggression by Pakistani security forces, others, like Dawn and Daily Pakistan, focused more narrowly on the rejection of the Afghan claim. A few, including Pakistan Today and the Associated Press of Pakistan, combined both elements in their headlines.
