Afghanistan's Taliban government has leveled serious accusations against Pakistan, claiming that Pakistani forces conducted deadly overnight airstrikes targeting civilian residential areas. The attacks allegedly resulted in six fatalities, with four people killed in the capital Kabul and two more deaths reported in eastern provinces.
According to Taliban officials, the victims included women and children among those killed in what they characterize as unprovoked attacks on civilian infrastructure. The Taliban government has condemned these strikes as violations of Afghanistan's sovereignty and international law, demanding an immediate explanation from Pakistani authorities.
This escalation marks a significant deterioration in relations between the neighboring countries, which have experienced increasing tensions along their shared border. The allegations come amid ongoing disputes over border security and cross-border militant activities that have strained diplomatic ties since the Taliban's return to power.
Pakistan has not yet officially responded to these accusations, though such cross-border incidents have become increasingly common as both nations struggle with security challenges in their border regions. The international community will likely monitor this situation closely as it could further destabilize an already volatile region.
