  "summary": "Security forces have foiled an attempt by militants to infiltrate into Kurram district from Afghanistan. According to security sources, the would-be infiltrators were from Fitna-al-Khawarij, a term used for the banned Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan, and had tried to cross the border from Nangarhar and Paktia provinces.\n\nWhen the infiltration attempt was thwarted, the Afghan Taliban began firing on Pakistani checkposts on the border, which was described as unprovoked by security sources. Pakistani troops responded by targeting multiple checkposts of the Afghan Taliban and their defensive positions, causing several Afghan Taliban operatives to flee.\n\nThe incident comes amid a resurgence in terrorism in Pakistan since the Afghan Taliban returned to power in Kabul in 2021. A day prior to the infiltration attempt, Pakistan conducted airstrikes on terrorist sites in the border region with Afghanistan, killing more than 28 terrorists, according to the information ministry.",
