Afghanistan's Taliban forces launched strikes against “several points” in Pakistan following deadly airstrikes by Pakistani aircraft inside Afghanistan earlier this week. The Taliban Ministry of Defence reported targeting areas housing "malicious elements" near the disputed Afghan-Pakistani border. The border tension escalated as Pakistan accused the Afghan Taliban of harbouring Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) militants, responsible for numerous attacks in Pakistan—a claim Kabul denies. Recent Pakistani airstrikes reportedly killed dozens, including 20 children in Paktika province, drawing international concern. Relations between the two nations remain strained since the Taliban’s rise to power in 2021. #Afghanistan #Pakistan #Taliban #BorderConflict #TTP #RegionalTensions
