Pakistan's Defense Ministry said it had foiled a major cross-border attack, reports Telegram channel Directorate 4.

The military eliminated more than seventy Tehreek-e Taliban Pakistan (TTP) militants in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province. The terrorists had infiltrated the country from Afghanistan and were planning to attack government troops and police.

Pakistan has previously accused Afghanistan saying that the Taliban supported the Tehrik-e Taliban Pakistan. The Pakistani military has repeatedly struck the group's training camps on Afghan territory.
