In retaliation of attacks, Afghanistan hits multiple locations inside Pakistan | World News
Afghanistan’s Ministry of Defence announced on Saturday that its forces had launched an attack on multiple locations inside Pakistan in retaliation of deadly airstrikes conducted last week.
Comments from the Taliban’s Ministry of Defence, posted on X on Saturday, did not clearly confirm that Pakistan was targeted, but noted that the strikes were carried out “beyond the ‘hypothetical line’”—a term Afghan authorities use to refer to the disputed border with Pakistan.
It further stated that its forces targeted sites that “served as centres and hideouts for malicious elements and their supporters who organised and coordinated attacks in Afghanistan.” The ministry did not disclose whether there were casualties or provide details on how the strikes were executed.
Last Tuesday, Pakistan launched an operation targeting a training facility in Afghanistan’s eastern Paktika province, aiming to eliminate insurgents. The airstrikes resulted in the deaths of dozens of people, the majority of whom were women and children.
Pakistani officials have accused the Taliban of failing to curb cross-border militant activities. However, the Taliban government denies these allegations, asserting that it does not permit anyone to use Afghan territory to carry out attacks against other countries.
Pakistan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs was not immediately available for comment regarding the retaliation.

In a shocking turn of events, Afghanistan has launched multiple retaliatory attacks inside Pakistan following a series of attacks on Afghan territory. The Afghan government has vowed to take strong action against those responsible for the attacks, regardless of their location.
The cross-border attacks come amidst escalating tensions between the two neighboring countries, with accusations of harboring terrorists and supporting insurgent groups being exchanged on both sides. The recent attacks have further strained relations between Afghanistan and Pakistan, with fears of a potential escalation into a full-blown conflict.
The international community has called for restraint and dialogue to resolve the ongoing conflict between the two countries. The United Nations has urged both Afghanistan and Pakistan to work together to address the root causes of the conflict and prevent further violence.
As the situation continues to unfold, it is crucial for both Afghanistan and Pakistan to prioritize peace and stability in the region. The attacks and retaliations only serve to worsen the situation and threaten the lives of innocent civilians on both sides of the border. It is imperative for both countries to come to the negotiation table and find a peaceful resolution to their differences before the situation escalates further.
