The Latest Breaking News from the Afghan Taliban

Pakistan’s Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has vowed to continue operations against militants during a visit to Balochistan

Pakistan's military previously launched airstrikes on what it said were militant hideouts

At least four people, including two children, were injured after debris from Afghan Taliban drones fell in several Pakistani cities, the country’s military said on Saturday. The drones were intercepted and destroyed before reaching their intended targets, but falling fragments caused injuries in different locations.

Pakistan launched airstrikes on Afghanistan's capital, Kabul, early Friday, resulting in four deaths and 15 injuries. This latest escalation stems from Pakistan's accusations that the Afghan Taliban government harbors the Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), which has increased attacks from Afghan territory.

Pakistan conducted air strikes in Afghanistan, escalating border tensions and leading to retaliatory actions by Taliban forces. This marks a serious confrontation, rooted in historical ties, the TTP's presence, and the disputed Durand Line. Both nations exchanged claims of casualties and territorial gains amidst declarations of 'open war'.

Wave of strikes comes after Taliban forces attack Pakistani border troops following earlier action from Islamabad

Pakistan's defense minister says there is a state of “open war” with Afghanistan

Pakistan launched "Operation Ghazab lil-Haq," a retaliatory military campaign, targeting Afghan Taliban defense positions in response to alleged unprovoked cross-border firing. Senior ministers confirmed a large-scale counter-offensive, with Pakistan reporting significant Taliban casualties and destroyed infrastructure. Afghanistan claimed to have killed Pakistani soldiers in retaliatory operations along the Durand Line.

Pakistan conducted air strikes on major Afghan cities, including Kabul, Kandahar, and Paktia, escalating border tensions. This action follows retaliatory attacks by Taliban forces, with Pakistan declaring an "open war" after cross-border clashes. The confrontation marks a significant escalation since the Taliban's return to power in 2021.
