Afghanistan has carried out coordinated strikes on several Pakistani military bases, including the Nur Khan Airbase near Rawalpindi, the 12th Division headquarters in Quetta, and Khwazai Camp in Mohmand Agency. The Afghan government described the operations as precise, claiming significant damage to Pakistan’s military infrastructure.
Officials said the strikes were retaliation for recent Pakistani air raids over Afghan territory, including areas near Kabul and Bagram. The attacks reportedly used a combination of drones and manned aircraft.
The Nur Khan Airbase, one of Pakistan’s most strategic facilities, has been referenced in past regional military operations. While Afghanistan claims major damage, Pakistan has not officially confirmed the strikes or disclosed any casualties, and independent verification is limited.
The escalation follows ongoing cross-border tensions, with Pakistan previously accusing Afghan forces of attacks and responding with airstrikes. Analysts warn that continued retaliatory actions could intensify the conflict along the Afghanistan-Pakistan border.
Conflicting reports from both sides make it difficult to assess the full impact of the strikes. The situation remains volatile, highlighting the fragile security environment in the region and the risk of rapid escalation in cross-border hostilities.
Observers have called for urgent diplomatic measures to prevent further escalation, as even localized attacks could trigger a wider conflict.
