Afghan forces struck militant hideouts in Pakistan, Taliban says
The ministry said the operation hit pre-designated targets and warned it will use all available means to counter threats from across the border.
- On Thursday night, the Afghan Taliban Defence Ministry launched air strikes on militant hideouts in Pakistan's Balochistan and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa provinces, marking Kabul's first major offensive action in months.
- These strikes followed Pakistan's air operations against Afghan provinces last week, which the Afghan Taliban claimed killed 13 people, while Islamabad reported killing 26 militants.
- Kabul did not specify how the attack was carried out, but alleged the targets included bases used by 'hostile intelligence circles' to organize attacks against Afghanistan.
- Pakistan's Military and Information Ministry did not immediately respond to requests for comment, as regional tensions persist despite China-mediated efforts to secure peace.
- Afghanistan's Defence Ministry declared it will use all available means to neutralize threats at their source, though the nation possesses limited air capabilities including six aircraft and 23 helicopters.
