On Sunday morning, Pakistan announced that it had carried out targeted airstrikes on terrorist hideouts near the Afghan border, specifically aiming at camps associated with the Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) and its allied groups. The information was shared by Pakistan's Information Minister Attaulah Tarar via the social media platform 'X', where he mentioned that the strikes were based on intelligence and were selective operations aimed at those responsible for recent suicide attacks in Pakistan. He also noted that the military had acted against a group affiliated with the Islamic State in the border region.

While Pakistan has not disclosed the exact locations of these airstrikes, social media reports suggested that some of the attacks occurred within Afghanistan. There has been no immediate official response from Kabul regarding these claims. According to reports from Tolo News, the Pakistan Air Force specifically targeted a religious madrassa in the Baramal district of Paktika province, as well as airstrikes in the Nangarhar province's Khogyani district, further intensifying the situation in the region.

This development underscores the ongoing security issues along the Pakistan-Afghanistan border, where militant groups such as the TTP have been active. The airstrikes reflect Pakistan's escalating military response to perceived threats from these groups, particularly in the wake of the recent rise in violence within its territory. Such actions could have further implications for Pakistan-Afghanistan relations, as well as for the broader security landscape in South Asia, raising concerns over possible retaliatory actions or escalated conflict in the region.
