Afghanistan has reported that its security forces killed 28 militants and captured 32 others at the Pakistan border, according to local media. The incident occurred as tensions between the two neighboring countries continue to rise. Meanwhile, Pakistan has rejected the claims and accused Afghanistan of violating its airspace with drones.
The Afghan government said the militants were attempting to cross into the country, and the operation was conducted to neutralize the threat. Pakistan, however, has expressed strong opposition, stating that the drones were operating without authorization and violated its territorial integrity.
In a separate development, Pakistan formally protested to Afghanistan over the airspace violation, summoning the Afghan ambassador to discuss the issue. The protest followed a series of incidents where Afghan drones were reportedly flying over Pakistani territory.
The escalating tensions between the two nations have raised concerns about regional stability. Both countries have accused each other of supporting terrorism and engaging in cross-border violence, further complicating diplomatic relations.
