The Taliban is trying to tighten its grip on Afghanistan, but claims that Pakistani drones are helping the Taliban against anti-Taliban forces.
However, Pakistan has rejected this demand. But what are the claims regarding drones?
Taliban fighters were fighting in the Panjsh Valley, northeast of Kabul, and it was virtually the last area of resistance against the Taliban.
In the past few days, there have been claims that Pakistani drones have been used to target anti-Taliban positions in support of the Taliban.
One source in the claim was Afghan journalist Tajuddin Saraush, who claimed that he had been told by Panjshir Governor Kamaluddin Nizami that "Pakistan had used drones to bomb Panjshir."
Another claim is that some targets have been attacked from the air and that is possible only by Pakistan. Read more on BBC Bangla:

The way the Taliban started using social media Who is in the cabinet of the new Taliban government?
Again another demand has spread through social media. It is said that Pakistan is interfering in the internal affairs of Afghanistan.
However, the Taliban have rejected these demands as much as Pakistan has denied them.
General Babar Iftekhar, a spokesman for the Pakistan Armed Forces, told the BBC that these were "completely false" and called the claims "India's irrational propaganda".
"Pakistan has nothing to do with what is happening inside Afghanistan, be it in Punjab or elsewhere."
Although the United States has long accused Pakistan of aiding the Taliban, the country has denied the allegations.
However, parts of the military and intelligence agencies were in contact with various groups in Afghanistan, such as the Taliban.
Pakistan has its own drone?
Yes, there is.
In March 2015, the country itself announced that it had used drones in military operations against insurgents in North Waziristan.
They used their own Burak drone, capable of carrying laser-guided missiles from the sky to the ground.
The Burak drone was designed and developed by the National Engineering and Scientific Commission in Pakistan.
There are also reports that Pakistan has built long-range drone capabilities with the cooperation of Turkey and China or both.
Last year, it was reported that Pakistan had bought the Chinese-built Wing Lung II, which was used by the UAE during the Libyan conflict, according to a BBC investigation.
One of these reports, however, aroused considerable curiosity; And that is that Pakistan has procured Chinese CH-4 drones.
These drones can be used for both intelligence gathering and attack.
