Pakistan confirmed conducting airstrikes and ground operations within eastern Afghanistan, resulting in the reported deaths of 25 militants. These actions were presented by Islamabad as a direct response to recent attacks within Pakistan, including a fatal incident involving paramilitary forces in Karachi. Pakistani authorities assert the targets were militant groups responsible for cross-border violence and instability. However, the Afghan government has condemned the strikes, alleging civilian casualties occurred as a result. This escalation marks a significant development in the ongoing tensions between the two nations regarding border security and militant activity. The situation remains volatile, with potential for further conflict or diplomatic efforts to de-escalate the situation.
