Pakistan conducted airstrikes in two Afghan provinces, claiming the destruction of terrorist camps linked to groups such as Fitna al Khwarij and Fitna al Hindustan. The ministry stated that precise air and drone strikes targeted the hideouts, resulting in the destruction of weapons and ammunition.
The attacks, carried out overnight, led to at least 10 civilian deaths according to Afghan officials. Local residents expressed outrage over the high number of casualties, with reports indicating significant loss of life among non-combatants. The United Nations mission in Afghanistan has been informed of the incident.
This follows a pattern of cross-border military operations between Pakistan and Afghanistan, often targeting militant groups operating in the region. The latest strikes highlight ongoing tensions and the complex security dynamics along the border. The Pakistani government has previously claimed responsibility for similar operations, emphasizing its efforts to combat terrorism. The situation remains under close monitoring by international bodies.
