Recent military actions have heightened tensions between Afghanistan and Pakistan, with both sides launching retaliatory strikes along their border. The Taliban-led Afghan government has initiated significant military operations against Pakistan in response to prior airstrikes reportedly resulting in civilian casualties. There are claims of substantial losses on both sides, with Afghanistan asserting the capture of several Pakistani outposts and Pakistan responding with airstrikes targeting militant hideouts in Afghanistan. Civilian harm has been a major concern, with reports of fatalities among Afghan villagers due to Pakistani air raids, leading to international scrutiny. As both nations maintain a hardened stance, the risk of further escalation remains high amidst ongoing exchanges of fire.
