Pakistan Army destroys Taliban Broadcast Tower along Afghanistan border

It has been reported that Pakistan Army has destroyed a Taliban's broadcast tower along Pakistan-Afghanistan border. The broadcast tower was being used to spread anti Pakistan propaganda from Afghan soil.

It may be noted that the Taliban have erected many towers inside Afghanistan that have been used to blast into Pakistan Taliban related propaganda and creating disloyalty among people living in Pakistani territory. 

Taliban have since long been indulged in such activities and in 2009 Pakistan closed down all mobile data signal towers and asked the Afghans to do the same. However, the Afghans have never reciprocated in the same letter and spirit as it suits them to spew venomous anti Pakistan propaganda.
