The Battle of Ghudwana was a five-day military engagement fought between the Pakistan Armed Forces and the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan (IEA) along the disputed Durand Line border from 28 February to 4 March 2026. The clashes centered on the village of Ghudwana in Pakistan's Zhob District and adjacent areas in Afghanistan's Spin Boldak District. Pakistani forces repelled Afghan incursions, captured strategic territory, and inflicted significant casualties on Afghan forces and allied Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) militants.
The battle was the largest conventional military confrontation between the two countries since the Taliban's return to power in 2021. It followed weeks of escalating cross-border attacks by TTP militants operating from Afghan soil, which Pakistan had repeatedly protested to the Afghan government. A ceasefire brokered by tribal elders took effect on 4 March, with Pakistani forces consolidating their positions along the border.
