Pakistan has launched a series of airstrikes into Afghanistan overnight, with reports suggesting that dozens of people have died or been injured, according to preliminary information from the Taliban. Among the casualties, the Taliban has claimed that there are also women and children. The airstrikes targeted military sites close to the Pakistan-Afghanistan border, focusing on seven terrorist camps and hideouts, as stated by the Pakistani administration.

The strikes are part of Pakistan's ongoing accusations against the Taliban regime in Afghanistan, alleging that it has been providing sanctuary to terrorists who plan and execute attacks within Pakistani territory. The Taliban has denied these accusations. In response to the airstrikes, Afghanistan's defense ministry condemned the actions, asserting that they violate national sovereignty and international law, further complicating the already tense relations between the two nations.

In October 2025, Pakistan and the Taliban-led Afghanistan agreed to a fragile ceasefire; however, relations have continued to be strained. The recent airstrikes mark a significant escalation in the conflict, raising concerns among international observers about the potential for further violence and instability in the region as both sides navigate their contentious security issues.
