Pakistan military officials said on Friday troops were being withdrawn from along the Afghan border amid media reports of a widescale redeployment of forces close to the Indian border in an apparent escalation of tensions with its neighbour.
Two intelligence officials told the Associated Press the Pakistan army’s 14th Division was being redeployed to Kasur and Sialkot, close to the Indian border. They said 20,000 troops were on the move. Earlier on Friday, a security official said all troop leave had been cancelled.
