After Pakistani strikes, Afghanistan threatens Islamabad with uncontrollable consequences. According to the ruling Taliban government in Afghanistan, Pakistani airstrikes have killed at least eight people, including women and children, in two Afghan provinces, close to the common border.
The attacks come two days after attackers killed seven soldiers in northwest Pakistan's North Waziristan district, near the border with Afghanistan. Since the Taliban returned to power in Kabul in 2021, border tensions between the two countries have increased. The Afghan government has always denied harboring foreign armed groups and assured that it would not allow anyone to use Afghan soil to launch attacks against its neighbors.
