Kabul/Islamabad, July 1: Afghanistan has carried out airstrikes targeting ISIS-linked positions inside Pakistan, officials confirmed today. The strikes reportedly hit militant hideouts along the border regions, marking a sharp escalation in cross-border tensions.
Afghan authorities stated that the operation was aimed at dismantling terrorist infrastructure responsible for recent attacks inside Afghanistan. They claimed the strikes neutralized several ISIS operatives and destroyed weapons caches.
Pakistan has yet to issue an official response, but the development is expected to heighten regional security concerns. Analysts warn that the cross-border action could strain already fragile relations between Kabul and Islamabad, while also complicating broader counterterrorism efforts in South Asia.
