Pakistan launches precision drone and air strikes on ten Afghan sites in retaliation
Pakistan said it carried out targeted aerial and drone attacks on ten locations in Afghanistan after drones were launched from Afghan territory the previous day.
Information Minister Atauallah Tarar announced that Pakistan exercised its right to self-defence by striking ten Afghan sites used for launching and storing hostile drones. He described the operations as precise, calibrated and limited to military objectives directly linked to the attempted attacks. The strikes were presented as a proportional response to the cross-border drone activity.
Why it matters
The strikes heighten tensions between Pakistan and Afghanistan, raising concerns about cross-border conflict escalation.
