World
The Taliban launched a military operation on the Pakistani border. They destroyed several checkpoints and entered the territory of the neighboring country. At least 19 border guards were killed.
Key details so far:
— According to military Telegram channels, this is the Taliban's response to airstrikes by the Pakistani Air Force on "Tehrik-e Taliban Pakistan" group bases in Afghanistan’s Paktika province. These strikes resulted in 46 fatalities.
— The Taliban’s Ministry of Defense announced that they do not recognize the border with Pakistan. Ministry spokesperson Inayatullah Khwarazmi stated that Afghanistan does not consider the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province part of Pakistan’s territory.
— Currently, the Taliban are deploying tanks, infantry fighting vehicles (IFVs), and other armored equipment to the border with Pakistan.
For context: a few days ago, Pakistan carried out airstrikes on peaceful villages in Afghanistan. These strikes reportedly killed dozens of people, according to Afghan officials.
