Paulius Samoška, sharing updates via his Instagram, announced that he left Afghanistan just in time to avoid an attack that occurred in Kabul. The situation escalated as Pakistan conducted airstrikes on the Afghan capital, targeting locations contributing to the ongoing conflict with the Taliban. Samoška reassured his followers that he was unharmed as he had departed the country the night before the strikes occurred.

The escalation of violence included reports of explosions in Kabul, which was echoed by the local residents who experienced a tense night. One Kabul resident recounted being woken by the loud blasts, mistaking them for an earthquake due to the severity of the sound. The attacks were reported to have targeted Taliban positions, as stated by Pakistan's military, which claimed that dozens of Taliban fighters had been killed in the operation.

Moreover, the Taliban government acknowledged the airstrikes and indicated that they are still assessing the situation without confirming any casualties. This incident not only highlights the volatile security situation in Afghanistan following the Taliban's return to power but also underscores the ongoing tensions between Pakistan and Afghanistan, which could further complicate regional stability.
