President assures full support to Field Marshal amid tensions with Afghanistan

Chief of Army Staff (COAS) Field Marshal Asim Munir met with President Asif Ali Zardari at the Presidential House on Wednesday, where they discussed rising security tensions along the border and the situation within the adjoining areas.

However, these attacks were swiftly thwarted by the Pakistan Army, resulting in the deaths of over 15 perpetrators, including Afghan soldiers and members of Fitna al Khawarij.

The army chief specifically talked about recent tensions with the Afghan regime, highlighting their aggressive and provocative actions that have destabilised the region and risked further escalation.
