Pakistani troops and spies brawl over water tanker in South Waziristan, 22 injured

A dispute over a water tanker escalated into a physical fight between Pakistani security forces and intelligence officials in Upper South Waziristan, leaving around 22 personnel injured. The clash occurred at the Asman Manza Brigade headquarters amid a severe water shortage. The argument began between Special Services Group (SSG) personnel and intelligence officials over priority access to the tanker, then escalated into a brawl that also involved Frontier Corps soldiers. A video of the confrontation, showing punches and kicks, has surfaced online, though details remain unverified. The district has long faced water shortages, forcing military and government facilities to rely on tankers, creating competition among units. No official statement has been issued by the Pakistan Army regarding the incident.
