According to P-AM intelligence sources, there is a large-scale redeployment of Taliban fighters to Kandahar drawn from Herat, Farah, Nimroz, and Uruzgan. The report states that numbers are significantly higher than previous movements and that these forces are now reinforcing the 205 Al-Badr Corps. The scale and urgency are described as tied to substantial losses during Pakistan's Operation G-L-H, prompting rapid consolidation of Kandahar as a critical military hub. The buildup is characterized as an escalation, with TTA reportedly showing no intent to act against the TTP and BLA, suggesting a shift in tactical posture rather than a de-escalation.
