Pakistan conducted targeted airstrikes against militant camps along the Afghan border on Saturday night following a series of deadly suicide attacks within its territory. The operations focused on seven camps belonging to the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan and an Islamic State affiliate across the Nangarhar and Paktika provinces. Pakistani officials, including Information Minister Attaullah Tarar, cited conclusive evidence linking recent violence—including a mosque bombing in Islamabad—to handlers based in Afghanistan. Conversely, Afghan authorities reported dozens of civilian casualties from the strikes, further straining the fragile relationship between the neighboring nations. This escalation follows a suicide bombing in the Bajaur district that killed 11 soldiers, underscoring the rising regional tensions and the challenges in enforcing the Doha agreement's counter-terrorism provisions.
