Pakistan’s government announced it conducted aerial strikes within eastern Afghanistan targeting a dissident faction of the Pakistani Taliban, also known as Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP). Information Minister Attaullah Tarar confirmed the attacks took place today, without specifying exact locations or casualties. The strikes represent a significant escalation in tensions between Pakistan and groups operating across the border. Pakistan alleges these groups are responsible for recent terrorist attacks within its territory. The Taliban government in Afghanistan has not yet officially commented on the reported strikes. This action follows a period of increased Pakistani complaints regarding the TTP’s ability to operate from Afghan soil. Further details are currently unavailable, and the situation remains fluid.
