Pakistan Strikes Afghanistan Border

Pakistani Airstrikes Hit Khost and Paktika Provinces Near Durand Line

The simmering tensions between Pakistan and Afghanistan have erupted into violence. Pakistani jets reportedly conducted airstrikes in the eastern Afghan provinces of Khost and Paktika, located near the Durand Line border. The Taliban regime’s spokesman, Zabihullah Mujahid, acknowledged attacks in Shamshad, a region within Paktika. However, he remained silent on any casualties. Unnamed sources claim a child and five others were killed in the airstrikes.

Afghan Taliban Spokesperson Acknowledges Pakistani Airstrikes

This incident marks a significant escalation in hostilities between the two nations. The last documented cross-border airstrikes by Pakistan occurred in April 2022, resulting in civilian casualties. With both sides offering conflicting narratives, independent verification of the attacks and casualty figures is crucial. International observers are closely monitoring the situation as concerns about regional stability rise.
