Pakistan Launches Military Strike on Kabul, Declares Open Conflict with Afghanistan

A military strike has been launched by Pakistan against Kabul, following an escalation of violence along the shared border between the two countries. The Pakistani government has declared that it is now engaged in an “open war” with Afghanistan.

According to reports, the clashes began after Islamabad accused the Afghan Taliban of opening fire along the border. The incident occurred despite a ceasefire agreement that was reached in October.

The fighting has continued for days, resulting in a significant escalation of tensions between Pakistan and Afghanistan. The Pakistani military has confirmed that it launched a strike on Kabul, targeting what it described as “enemy positions”.

The Afghan government has not commented publicly on the situation, but sources close to the Taliban have confirmed that they had been preparing for a potential attack from Pakistan.

The conflict is the latest in a series of tensions between Pakistan and Afghanistan, which have been simmering for months. The two countries have a long-standing relationship, with Pakistan providing significant financial and military support to the Afghan government.

The situation remains fluid, with both sides engaging in intense fighting. The international community has been monitoring the situation closely, with many expressing concern about the potential consequences of the conflict.

Details are still emerging, but it is clear that the situation in Afghanistan is becoming increasingly volatile.
