Afghan Government Accuses Pakistan of Launching Airstrikes on Kabul

The Afghan government has accused Pakistan's air force of conducting a series of airstrikes on the capital Kabul, with attacks reportedly hitting residential areas and civilian infrastructure. Pakistan has defended the strikes as operations targeting militants from the Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), a Pakistani Taliban movement that has carried out attacks against Pakistani forces and civilians from bases in Afghanistan. Afghan authorities and the United Nations mission in the country have warned of tragic consequences for civilians caught in the cross-border military action. The strikes represent a significant escalation in tensions between the Taliban-controlled Afghanistan and Pakistan, highlighting the complex security challenges in the region where militant groups operate across porous borders.
