The Taliban have reported that Pakistan conducted airstrikes on Kabul and several regions in Afghanistan, including Kandahar and Paktia, causing at least four deaths in the capital. Afghan officials indicated that these attacks involved the bombing of civilian residences, resulting in the deaths of women and children. The Taliban's spokesperson, Zabihullah Mujahid, condemned these actions on social media, highlighting the severity of the situation.

In addition to the residential areas, the strikes targeted a fuel depot belonging to the private airline Kam Air, located near Kandahar Airport. This facility is significant as it provides fuel for both civilian airlines and United Nations aircraft. The Taliban, led by Hibatullah Akhundzada, view these attacks as not only a humanitarian issue due to the loss of lives but also a threat to the operational capabilities of various organizations that rely on this fuel supply.

The ongoing military actions exacerbate tensions between Pakistan and the Taliban-led government in Afghanistan. With allegations of targeted bombings and civilian casualties, the situation raises concerns about regional stability and the potential for further conflict. As the Taliban condemns the airstrikes, it also faces the challenge of addressing the humanitarian impact while navigating the geopolitical complexities involving neighboring Pakistan.
