Pakistan launched airstrikes in Afghanistan, killing nine civilians including women and children, according to Taliban reports. The attacks targeted suspected militant hideouts, with Pakistan claiming to have eliminated 22 terrorists and seized weapons. Kabul condemned the strikes as violations of international law, accusing Pakistan of targeting civilians.
The airstrikes mark a new escalation in the conflict between the two neighboring countries. Pakistan’s military said the strikes were aimed at disrupting militant operations, while the Taliban reported civilian casualties and called the actions an aggression. The discrepancy in casualty figures has deepened the mistrust between the nations.
This is the latest in a series of military clashes between Pakistan and Afghanistan. Previous incidents have seen both sides accuse each other of cross-border attacks. The situation reflects the ongoing instability in the region, with both countries struggling to control militant groups. The international community has called for restraint, but tensions remain high.
