On Saturday morning, residents of Jalalabad, Afghanistan experienced two significant explosions, which were reported by an AFP journalist on site. This incident comes after recent Pakistani airstrikes targeting major Afghan cities, including the capital, Kabul. The Pakistani government has declared 'open war' on the Taliban authorities in Afghanistan, escalating the ongoing conflict between the two nations.

The explosions were notably heard in the vicinity of Jalalabad's airport, which is situated in the eastern part of Afghanistan—strategically located on the route between Kabul and the Pakistani border. This outbreak of violence follows a series of Pakistani bombardments that have raised serious concerns over security and stability in the region. The confrontations appear to be escalating following an Afghan offensive reported earlier near the common border.

The recent military actions and declarations reflect a significant deterioration in relations between Afghanistan’s Taliban regime and Pakistan, with the potential for broader regional implications. As the situation unfolds, it is crucial to monitor how these developments might affect the Pakistani-Afghan border dynamics and the broader geopolitical landscape of South Asia.
