Pakistan has officially confirmed carrying out airstrikes across the border in Afghanistan, stating that the operation targeted seven militant camps linked to Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) and Islamic State Khorasan Province (ISKP). In a formal statement, Pakistani authorities said the strikes were intelligence-driven and aimed at dismantling infrastructure allegedly used to plan and execute attacks inside Pakistan. Security officials described the targeted locations as training centers and logistical hubs situated near the border region. Islamabad maintained that the action was part of its ongoing counterterrorism efforts to curb escalating cross-border militancy and protect national security interests. The government emphasized that the operation was “precise and limited,” focused solely on militant facilities. There has been no immediate detailed response from Afghan officials, but the development is expected to heighten tensions between the two neighboring countries. Analysts warn that such cross-border military actions could complicate diplomatic engagement while intensifying security challenges in the region.
