In a significant escalation of conflict, Afghan Taliban forces have launched multiple strikes against targets in Pakistan, claiming these actions are in retaliation for deadly airstrikes conducted by Pakistan that reportedly killed at least 46 individuals, including women and children, in eastern Afghanistan. The Afghan defense ministry stated that military actions were carried out beyond the Durand Line in response to the airstrikes. Reports indicate that Afghan forces have hit several locations across the border, leading to a warning from Pakistan regarding potential future airstrikes. The ongoing violence has raised concerns about the rising tensions and the threat of a broader conflict, with both sides suffering casualties in recent clashes. The situation remains dire as the Taliban continues to assert its stance against Pakistan, vowing further retaliation for the deadly attacks.
