Amid rising tensions between Pakistan and Afghanistan, Pakistan has conducted a series of airstrikes targeting alleged militant hideouts along the Afghan border. The strikes, which Pakistan claims resulted in the deaths of at least 70 militants, have drawn strong condemnation from Afghanistan, where officials report that dozens of civilians have been killed or injured in the bombardments. The Taliban government has vowed to respond appropriately to these attacks, promising a coordinated reaction at their discretion. As the situation escalates, both sides are bracing for further conflict, highlighting the fragile state of security in the region.
