The Taliban government of Afghanistan has confirmed that it launched strikes against Pakistani forces in the mountainous areas along the country's northern border. This was reported by Zamin.uz.
According to official information, the number of casualties has not yet been disclosed. The Pakistani government, responding on Thursday to claims of airspace violations by Afghanistan, spoke about a market bombed by the Taliban and described these attacks as a "retaliatory operation."
Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi described the Afghan attacks as malicious and emphasized that civilians were targeted. He warned that alternative measures would be taken if necessary.
Islamabad has accused Kabul of providing shelter to armed groups in Pakistan, but the Taliban deny these allegations. According to the BBC, both sides used firearms and artillery in the Kurram district of Pakistan.
Experts are calling on the parties to remain patient and engage in diplomatic dialogue to prevent further escalation. This situation poses a serious threat to peace and stability in the region, so all parties must strive to resolve the issue peacefully.
