Mujahid further said that Afghan fighters have captured several Pakistani military posts. According to him, 2 posts in Machine Boat area of Dora Baba, 3 in Anargi (Goshta) and 2 in Doklam in Kunar province have been captured. Pakistan has not yet publicly confirmed these claims.

Walid Kor spokesperson also issued a statement
A spokesman for the Taliban’s 201 Khalid bin Walid Corps said Afghan border forces have launched a counter-offensive in eastern provinces bordering Pakistan. They claim that this action is a direct reaction to Pakistani air strikes. Although details regarding the number of casualties or the scale of the confrontation are still unclear, the rhetoric indicates a coordinated military response rather than a minor border skirmish.
