The Pakistani government confirmed that its armed forces carried out airstrikes against targets in Afghan territory, including Kabul, Kandahar, and Paktia. According to Information Minister Attaullah Tarar, the operations left 72 Afghan forces dead and more than 120 wounded. Islamabad described the offensive as a “firm response” to aggression from the border, while the Taliban government reported its own military actions against Pakistan. This escalation breaks the ceasefire agreed in October and marks a significant deterioration in bilateral relations.
