Afghanistan and Pakistan face potential escalation over border clashes
Tensions between Afghanistan and Pakistan have escalated after Pakistani forces conducted strikes inside Afghan territory. Kabul responded by summoning the Pakistani Chargé d’Affaires and lodging a strongly worded official protest. The strikes resulted in the death of 36 civilians and injuries to 163 others, most of them women and children, targeting residential areas in Paktia, Paktika, and Kunar provinces, according to the Afghan government, which regarded the attacks as an assault on its land and people. Conversely, Pakistan insists that its operations were in response to an attack in Karachi targeting the Coast Guard headquarters, and accuses the Afghan government of allowing armed groups to monitor and plan attacks inside Pakistan.
