Afghan Taliban graduates new batch of commandos, Abdul Ghani Baradar warns of 'decisive response' to all hostile acts

Kabul, Nov 29 (UNI) The Afghan Taliban's interim Ministry of Defence announced the graduation of a new military batch, containing hundreds of 'commando' fighters, as bilateral relations between Afghanistan and Pakistan remain on the edge, and fraught with escalating tensions, distrust, and hostility.
At the graduation ceremony of the new commando batch, Abdul Ghani Baradar, the Taliban regime's Deputy Prime Minister for Economic Affairs, reiterating the organisation's stance on territorial sovereignty and integrity, said that Taliban will never allow any country to violate its territory, and warned that "any form of aggression," will not go unpunished, with the group prepared and able to respond in kind.
Baradar further underscored the urgency of protecting Afghanistan's borders from all threats, and warned neighbouring states from engaging in any mischievous acts, stating that they should not test either Kabul's patience or its resolve, when it comes to the protection of its territory, as per Afghan media.
