Tensions between Pakistan and Afghanistan have sharply escalated after a series of airstrikes, drone attacks, and cross-border clashes pushed the situation toward what officials described as “open war.” Military operations intensified following attacks on Pakistani border posts, which Islamabad blamed on militant groups allegedly operating from Afghan territory.
Pakistan launched major air and artillery strikes on targets in Afghan cities including Kabul, Kandahar, and Paktia, marking one of the most significant escalations in recent years. Afghan authorities responded with retaliatory actions, including drone strikes and cross-border operations, while disputing casualty figures reported by Pakistan.
Both governments claim heavy losses on the opposing side, but independent verification remains difficult. Reports indicate civilian areas were also affected, raising humanitarian concerns and triggering displacement near border regions.
The conflict stems from long-standing disputes over border security, the presence of militant groups such as Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan, and disagreements over sovereignty and the Durand Line. Months of failed ceasefires and negotiations contributed to the current escalation.
International actors including Qatar, Turkey, Russia, and Iran have urged restraint and renewed diplomacy to prevent a prolonged regional conflict. Analysts warn that continued escalation could impact trade routes, refugee flows, and overall stability across South Asia.
Despite the severity of the situation, diplomatic channels remain open, and both sides have signaled willingness for talks leaving the next phase of the conflict dependent on political decisions and mediation efforts.
