Soldados do Paquistão repeliram nesta quarta-feira (6) um ataque procedente do Afeganistão por "centenas" de talibãs paquistaneses, disse uma autoridade.
"Havia centenas deles, e estavam equipados com armas leves e pesadas", disse à AFP o funcionário do distrito de Chitral (noroeste do Paquistão) Mohammad Ali, na fronteira com o Afeganistão.
"Estávamos prontos para enfrentar o ataque e a troca de tiros continuou durante aproximadamente quatro horas", acrescentou.
O grupo paquistanês Tehreek-e-Taliban Paquistão (TTP) recuperou força desde a volta dos talibãs ao poder no Afeganistão, em 2021.
Islamabad, capital do Paquistão, acusa regularmente seu vizinho de abrigar militantes - algo que eles negam.
