Pakistani strikes in Afghanistan reignite tensions between the two neighbors. Eight people were killed, according to the Taliban regime, which “strongly condemns these attacks” and denounces a “violation of the sovereignty” of its country.
Relations between Pakistan and Afghanistan are deteriorating against a backdrop of security threats. The Taliban regime refuses any action against armed groups, such as the TTP, which target security forces and representatives of the Pakistani authority. Tensions have been recurring since the Taliban took power in Afghanistan in 2021.
