On Sunday, Taliban-controlled National Television reported that the 205 Al-Badr Corps' suicide squad in Kandahar, led by their Chief of Staff, patrolled the border with Pakistan.
After completing their mission, these forces returned to their service location.
The report stated that the Badri suicide unit inspected the weapons and personnel previously stationed along the border and provided recommendations to the officials there. National Television in Kandahar also released an image of this suicide unit.
The Afghanistan-Pakistan border, known as the Durand Line, spans tens of kilometres between Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Kandahar province.
Last year, the Taliban announced the construction of 605 kilometres of road and 130 new outposts to strengthen security in this province.
Taliban and Pakistani forces have repeatedly clashed over construction at border crossings. The Taliban have stated that they are securing Afghanistan's borders to prevent threats to neighbouring countries.
