There are contradictory reports about the reason behind the conflict between Taliban& PAK border forces, in Dand-e Patan District of Paktia, on Durand Line.
Taliban officially didn't comment on the conflict yet.
Still, @khalidzadran01 tweeted a poem of the Emir of Durrani Empire. ImageImageImageImage
The poem of king A. Shah is in Pashto, with below contents:
As God made me victorious against my rivals, I will go directly towards India for sightseeing (conquering).
When I conquer the India's territories, then I will go with flag and drum towards Iran (to conquer the country).
More about the conflict between IEA&PAK forces, in Dand-e Patan District of Paktia Province, on Durand Line:
1. Based on SM reports, one Talib was killed in today's clash (unconfirmed).
2. Paktia University students are donating blood for wounded patients.

3. #PAK officials confirmed that 7 people, including 3 security forces and two children, were injured following firing from across the Afghan border today. Federal Minister for Overseas Pakistanis said that PAK forces had also conducted retaliatory firing.

4. Considering the remarks of PAK minister& a tribal elder, Afghan side wanted to build a new road on disputed land in the area& Pakistani side tried to stop the construction work, which resulted in the clash. The road is connecting Paktia via Nangarhar& Logar, to Kabul(@Haqmal). ImageImageImage
5. An unverified video shared by pro-TB sources, showing that the Taliban are destroying Pillars of barbed wire, installed by PAK, allegedly in Dand-e Patan District.
Meanwhile, a twitter account attributed to a TB official, claimed that 7 PAK forces were killed in today's clash. twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
Note:
As I mentioned before, I couldn't verify the #videos& #photos released about Sunday's clashes between the AFG Taliban& Pakistani boder guards on Durand Line.
For suspected twitter accounts, I also mention similar clarification/#disclaimer (e.g. an account attributed to...).
No confirmed info about the details of clashes in Paktia, on Durand Line, are available yet.
Pro-Taliban sources confirmed that 1 Talib was killed& 4 others were wounded in the clash, but no comment on civilian casualties yet.
A propaganda war of TB against PAK, on SM, continues. Image
A Pakistani source confirmed that one PAK army soldier was killed and 7 more wounded in the ongoing Durand Line clash. He said that 4 civilians, including children, were also wounded.
After fierce #clashes in Dand-e Patan District of Paktia Province and Kurram District of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, between the #Taliban and #PAK Army, on #Durand_Line yesterday, the situation was seemingly calm today.
A pro-TB SM activist tweeted the below clip:

On 24 November, a horrific incident in #Daikundi Province resulted in the killing of 10 people, including 4 children& one #Taliban member. 7 others, including 2 TB, were wounded in the incident. 5 were arrested by the TB.
No official source confirmed the number of casualties yet. ImageImageImageImage
There are contradictory information about the nature of Daikundi incident:
Anti-TB fronts: Taliban attacked a village and massacred Hazara civilians.
TB/Pro-TB sources: There was a civil lawsuit between 2 families& the IEA wanted to arrest some people, then the incident happened. ImageImageImageImage
Third Party/other sources:
Taliban went to a village on the outskirts of Nilli City, to arrest some locals over a #land_conflict between them, but they resisted and a clash happened. Some #Hazara TB (e.g. General Sadaqat), involved in the local conflicts, #provoked the incident. ImageImage

Mullah Mohammad Essa Akhund, was introduced as new #Kabul_Governor today.
A Pashton from Kandahar (?), he was a battle field expert of the #TB in the south, and recently was serving as security chief for the Ministry of Defense.
Pro-TB accounts defined him as an anti-ISKP figure.
Following the announcement of Mullah Mohammad Essa (Yasin) Akhund, as the new Kabul Governor, many sources in social media, accused him of having background of spoiling governmental assets in Paktika Province, when he was serving as governor there in late 2021.
Paktika people...
... reportedly complained and stood against him, which resulted in his shifting to Kabul as commander of security& support brigade of the Ministry of Defense.
#Taliban usually tolerate the wrongdoings of their powerful commanders and figures, mainly for keeping the group's unity.

Some facts about the #foreign_fighters (FFs) living under the #Taliban's shadow:
1. There are a couple of thousands of FFs living in #AFG under the TB's regime. Majority of them are settled in the east (Kunar&Nangarhar) & north (Badakhshan&Takhar) of AFG.
afintl.com/en/202210196971
2. Pakistanis & citizens of Central Asian countries make the absolute majority of the FFs in AFG, followed by Arabs, Indians, Turks...
FFs in small numbers are scattered all over AFG, from south to north and from east to west.
