Pakistan carried out an airstrike in Afghanistan late Tuesday night targeting suspected hideouts of Pakistani Taliban. These attacks were carried out in the mountainous areas of Paktika province of Afghanistan bordering Pakistan. At least 15 people have been killed in this airstrike.
News agency AP quoted Pakistani officials as saying that the training center of Pakistani Taliban i.e. Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) has been destroyed in the attack. Officials claimed the death of many terrorists.
However, it is not clear how far Pakistani planes went into Afghanistan and how they carried out the attacks. For the second time since March, Pakistan has carried out an airstrike in Afghanistan.

Earlier in March, Pakistan had talked about airstrike in Afghanistan on the basis of intelligence information.
Afghanistan said- will retaliate
Afghanistan’s Defense Ministry has condemned the Pakistani airstrike. Kabul alleged that civilians, including women and children, were targeted in the bombing. Afghanistan called it a violation of international rules.
The Afghan Defense Ministry expressed its displeasure by posting on social media platform X. The ministry wrote that such unilateral steps are not the solution to any problem. Afghanistan said it would respond to the airstrike.
The ministry wrote, ‘It is our right to protect our motherland, we will definitely respond to this cowardly attack.’

TTP intensified attacks on Pakistan from 2022
Pakistan often alleges that the Pakistani Taliban uses the land of Afghanistan to carry out terrorist attacks on it. However, Afghanistan has been rejecting these allegations of Pakistan.
With the return of Taliban in Afghanistan in 2021, Pakistani Taliban (TTP) has strengthened. TTP had unilaterally ended the ceasefire with Pakistan in November 2022. After this he has intensified the attacks on Pakistan.
In the last few months, TTP has killed many soldiers and policemen of Pakistan.
