Pakistan air strikes in Afghanistan spark Taliban warning of retaliation Anonymous 2024-12-26 (Thu) 10:46:34 No.486538

From AJ yesterday:
The first cross-border strike inside Afghanistan since March came after a spate of attacks by the Pakistan Taliban.
Islamabad, Pakistan – The Pakistani military conducted air raids in neighbouring Afghanistan late on Tuesday night, targeting hideouts of the Pakistan Taliban, known by the acronym TTP, armed group in Paktika province, according to security officials.

While no official statement was issued by Pakistan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs or military media wing, the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), sources confirmed to Al Jazeera that the attacks took place in the Barmal district of Afghanistan, near Pakistan’s South Waziristan tribal district in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province.

The interim Afghan government, ruled by the Taliban, also confirmed the attacks but insisted that civilians had been targeted. The Taliban spokesperson’s office told Al Jazeera that at least 46 people, including women and children, were among those killed in air raids.

“The Pakistani side should understand that such arbitrary measures are not a solution to any problem,” Enayatullah Khowarazami, spokesperson for Afghanistan’s Defence Ministry, wrote on social media platform X. “The Islamic Emirate will not leave this cowardly act unanswered and considers the defense of its territory an inalienable right,” he added, referring to Afghanistan by the name given by the Taliban government.

The air raids, which were conducted for the second time this year, came just hours after Pakistan’s special representative for Afghanistan, Mohammad Sadi, met interim Afghan Foreign Minister Amir Khan Muttaqi in Kabul.

“Met Foreign Minister Amir Khan Muttaqi today. Held wide-ranging discussions. Agreed to work together to further strengthen bilateral cooperation and promote peace and progress in the region,” Sadiq posted on X.

Dunno, but it looks like more countries getting drawn into the regional clusterfuck.

If I'm not mistaken Pakistan has illegitimately imprisoned a very popular socdem politician (Khan something or other), and that is becoming politically untenable with masses of people protesting for his release. Maybe they are trying to stir a conflict to distract from that.

Update:
This theatre has been heating up a lot in the past couple days.

What to know about the latest round of clashes
If you’re just catching up with this story, here’s what you need to know:

Pakistan this morning bombed two locations in Kabul, the capital of Afghanistan.
The first strike occurred at about 1:50am local time (21:20 GMT), according to Al Jazeera correspondent Nasser Shadid. Afghan forces responded with anti-aircraft fire.
“Afghan Taliban defence targets were targeted in Kabul, Paktia (province) and Kandahar,” Pakistani Information Minister Attaullah Tarar posted on X, while Defence Minister Khawaja Asif declared an “open war” with the Taliban government.
Pakistan and Afghanistan also exchanged fire on Thursday along their border, with both claiming to have inflicted casualties.
The fighting follows days of escalating hostilities, although relations between Pakistan and Afghanistan have been on the decline for months.
Afghanistan’s Taliban authority said that a “large-scale offensive operations have been launched ⁠against Pakistani military ⁠positions and installations along the Durand Line” on Thursday.
The Taliban said their attack was in response to a separate round of Pakistani air strikes earlier this week.
