Pakistan has escalated its conflict with Afghanistan by launching airstrikes targeting military objectives in Kabul and other regions, declaring an 'open war' against its neighbor. This attack represents the most serious incident between the two countries since the Taliban regained control of Afghanistan, heightening tensions in the region.

The Pakistani government stated that these strikes were in retaliation for what they described as 'unprovoked Afghan attacks,' particularly against military posts in Paktia and Kandahar. The Pakistani authorities have indicated that military actions will continue, suggesting a sustained military campaign aimed at Afghan targets. This aggressive stance could lead to further instability in an already volatile region and complicate international relations, particularly with regards to humanitarian conditions in Afghanistan.

The spokesperson for the Pakistani Prime Minister emphasized that their military responses would focus on striking at military objectives to neutralize perceived threats from Afghan forces. As the situation develops, the international community will be monitoring closely, given the potential implications for the security and humanitarian landscape in both countries and beyond.
