Pakistan carried out fresh overnight strikes on Kabul and bordering provinces, Afghanistan authorities said on Friday (Mar 13). Four people were killed in the Afghan capital following the attack. The strikes were confirmed by a Pakistani security officials, who said that their forces targeted the Pakistani Taliban militant group Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP).
Khalil Zadran, the spokesman for Kabul police, said that four people were killed while 15 others were wounded following a bombardment that struck homes in Kabul. He added that women and children were among the victims.
In a post on X, Taliban government spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid said that Pakistani strikes also hit the southern province of Kandahar, which is home to Taliban supreme leader Hibatullah Akhundzada, and eastern Paktia and Paktika, which border Pakistan. In Kandahar, the strikes hit a fuel depot for airline Kam Air, close to the airport.
The recent attack comes after Islamabad launched a wave of air strikes on Afghanistan last month, saying the operation targeted militancy following increasing attacks in Pakistan. However, the Taliban government denied the claims of involvement or use of Afghan territory for attacks in Pakistan.
When the tensions flared last month, Pakistan declared an “open war” against Taliban authorities, bombing the capital, Kabul, on February 27.
Between February 26 and March 5, 56 civilians have been killed in Afghanistan, including 24 children, by Pakistani military operations, according to the United Nations’ mission in Afghanistan.
