Following attacks on security personnel in Pakistan, the US State Department on Tuesday urged the Afghan Taliban to ensure that the terrorist attacks are not launched from their soil.

State Department Spokesperson Matthew Miller said this in response to a query seeking his comments on a recent terrorist attack in which seven people, including two security forces personnel and five civilians, including children, were martyred in Dera Ismail Khan.

Addressing a news briefing, Miller said: “We do continue to urge the Taliban to ensure that terrorist attacks are not launched from the Afghan soil.”

The spokesperson said that it had been a priority for the US in engagements with them, and it continues to be.
