Pakistan and Afghanistan engaged in conflict

The conflict between Pakistan and Taliban-controlled Afghanistan has intensified for a fourth day, following the Taliban’s announcement of an offensive against Pakistani military bases along the border. In response, Pakistan launched airstrikes on major Afghan cities, including Kabul and Kandahar, declaring an “open war.” Both sides have reported conflicting casualty figures, with the current fighting representing the most significant escalation since the Taliban regained control of Afghanistan in 2021.
