The Taliban government in Afghanistan accused Pakistan's military of conducting airstrikes in Kabul and other regions, killing at least six civilians. Tensions between the two countries have been rising drastically, with each side accusing the other of harboring militant groups.
Pakistan's state television claimed successful military operations by its forces within Afghanistan, asserting targeted strikes on alleged militant hideouts. This escalation comes as relationships strain over Pakistan's belief in Afghanistan's support for its adversaries, including India.
Amid futile diplomatic interventions, the airstrikes follow the visit of China's special envoy to Islamabad. Despite international calls for restraint, fighting surged with repeated attacks further threatening regional stability.
