Afghan Taliban say dozens killed in Pakistani airstrikes DW 12/25/2024
Briefly

The Taliban regime in Afghanistan has condemned the recent Pakistani airstrikes in Paktika province, which reportedly killed at least 46 people, predominantly women and children. The Taliban has vowed to retaliate against Pakistan for this incident, calling it a brutal violation of international principles and an act of aggression.
Enayatullah Khowrazmi, a spokesman for Afghanistan's Ministry of National Defence, referred to the airstrikes as an 'obvious act of aggression' and stressed that Afghanistan would respond to the attack. This highlights escalating tensions between the two nations and the serious implications for regional security.
Pakistani officials described the airstrikes as a necessary operation targeting insurgents and a training facility. However, the lack of official acknowledgment or detailed reports from Pakistan raises further questions about the motives and implications behind these military actions.
As tensions rise, the Pakistani Taliban (TTP), which has committed numerous attacks within Pakistan, remains a threat. The TTP aligns itself with the Afghan Taliban's objectives, posing a significant challenge for security in both Afghanistan and Pakistan amid ongoing violence.
