The current situation is as follows:
On the night of February 26, hostilities resumed along the Afghan-Pakistani border, continuing a long-standing conflict. The main reason is the disputed Durand Line, established by the British in 1893, which divides Pashtun tribes. Afghanistan has never recognized this border, which has led to the ongoing confrontation.
In response to the airstrikes from Pakistan, Kabul announced the start of large-scale operations. Taliban representatives claim they have managed to capture more than ten Pakistani military bases along the border.
According to the Afghan Ministry of Defense, the fighting has spread across five border provinces, resulting in the deaths of up to 55 Pakistani soldiers, some of whom were taken prisoner.
The Pakistani side reported significant losses for the Afghan Taliban, claiming that 36 tanks, artillery pieces, and armored personnel carriers were destroyed during the fighting.
Attaullah Tarar, Pakistan's information minister, stated that 133 militants were killed in the operation "Ghazab lil-Haq," with over 200 wounded. He also noted that 27 Taliban bases were destroyed and 9 were captured.
Local media report that a Pakistani military aircraft was shot down in Afghan airspace.
Today, Pakistan carried out an airstrike on the capital of Afghanistan. In Kabul, near the presidential palace, gunfire broke out, and fighter jets struck a Taliban military corps in the Darul Aman area.
