Afghanistan-Pakistan Tensions Surge As Kandahar Residents Back Defence Forces

Описание: Residents in Karachi and Lahore expressed dismay following escalating clashes between Pakistan and Afghanistan.

Some citizens said Pakistan had hosted millions of Afghans for decades during periods of conflict and expected goodwill rather than hostility. The remarks came after Defence Minister Khawaja Asif declared that the situation had reached “open war.”

Military sources said the escalation followed an Afghan attack that destroyed Pakistani border posts and installations, prompting retaliatory air-to-ground strikes targeting Taliban-linked facilities in Kabul, Kandahar, and Paktia. Ground clashes were also reported along multiple sectors of the border.

The Taliban described their actions as retaliatory. Both sides reported heavy casualties, though figures could not be independently verified.
