This footage reportedly shows Pakistani forces destroying Afghan Taliban tank positions during deadly clashes near the border.

The strikes took place recently in the Kurram Sector, near Khost in Afghanistan, just over the border from Pakistan, according to Pakistani security sources.

Pakistani security sources said one tank position, known as Shamshad Post, as well as a second tank position, known as Nargsar Post, were destroyed along with their crews.

They said that in the strike on the Shamshad Post, a key commander was killed.

They added that in the attack on the Nargsar Post, several Taliban operatives were killed.

The events come as Pakistan's Defence Minister Khawaja Asif accused India of "sponsoring" the Taliban.

Pakistan and Afghanistan's Taliban government say they agreed to a temporary ceasefire, which Pakistan said began from 13:00 GMT on Wednesday, 15th October, after fresh border clashes and reported Pakistani air strikes on Kabul and Kandahar.
