In a significant escalation of tensions, Pakistan announced cross-border strikes on militant targets in Afghanistan, accusing Afghan-based fighters of conducting recent suicide bombings, including during Ramadan.
The strikes followed the release of three Pakistani soldiers in a Saudi-mediated intervention aimed at de-escalating border conflicts.
Pakistan’s government asserts these attacks were orchestrated by the Pakistani Taliban and Islamic State Khorasan Province, claiming they have proof implicating Afghanistan’s involvement, a claim the Afghan Taliban denies.
