Pakistan’s information ministry rejected all allegations that its security forces or intelligence agencies are involved in Afghanistan at all
2-MIN READ2-MIN ListenReutersPublished: 10:37pm, 27 Sep 2026Afghanistan’s defence ministry said on Sunday its forces had killed 28 fighters and wounded 32 in the eastern province of Nuristan after a group it said included Islamic State militants travelled from Pakistan.
The ministry alleged Pakistani militias had supported the fighters and that most of them were former Afghan government security personnel.
Pakistan’s information ministry rejected the allegations, describing them as “frivolous, baseless and devoid of any truth” in a post on social media.
The ministry denied that its security forces or intelligence agencies were involved in clashes in Nuristan, had recruited or trained former Afghan security personnel, or had facilitated Islamic State or other militant groups in Afghanistan.
