Pakistan again carried out an airstrike inside Afghanistan on Monday night. According to the Taliban administration, at least 10 civilians were killed in these attacks, including 9 children and a woman.
Taliban spokesman Zabiullah Mujahid said that a house was attacked in Khost province of Afghanistan. He said that at around 12 o’clock in the night, Pakistani aircraft bombed a house in Mughalgai area of Garbaj district. In this attack, 5 boys, 4 girls and a woman were killed and the house was completely destroyed.
The Taliban spokesman also said that Pakistan also conducted raids in Kunar and Paktika provinces, injuring four civilians. No reaction has been received yet from Pakistan Army and Foreign Ministry on this incident.
Pakistan itself is facing security challenges
This attack happened at a time when Pakistan itself was facing security challenges. This evening, the Frontier Constabulary Headquarters was attacked in Peshawar city of Pakistan. This headquarters is located near the Military Cantt area.
6 people were killed in this suicide attack, including 3 commandos and 3 attackers. Many people have also been injured. According to the initial police report, the attacker had covered himself with a sheet. He blew himself up as soon as he reached the post. Three policemen were killed in this.
After the attack on the security force headquarters, smoke spread in the area.
Pakistan dropped bombs in Kabul last month
Tension between Pakistan and Afghanistan has increased significantly in recent months. Dozens of people were killed in clashes between the armies of the two countries in October, the worst violence since the Taliban returned to power in 2021.
The two countries had signed a ceasefire agreement in Doha in October, but subsequent peace talks in Turkey could not reach any long-term agreement. The differences emerged over militant organizations that Pakistan says are against itself and which take refuge in Afghanistan.
Pakistan repeatedly accuses Afghanistan of allowing Pakistan-Taliban (TTP) to carry out attacks in Pakistan from its soil. However, Kabul has repeatedly denied these allegations.
According to media reports, the Afghan government is not directly working with TTP, but it is also not taking any steps to stop it. The Taliban government fears that if it takes strict action against TTP, there may be a rebellion within it.
Afghan journalist Shabbir Ahmed said that the Taliban regime does not see TTP as a terrorist organization, but as close to ideology and a wartime partner.
There has been tension between the two countries before
There is a long standing dispute between Afghanistan and Pakistan regarding the Durand Line. Both countries keep accusing each other of attacks and hiding terrorists. Tension has increased further after Taliban took control of Afghanistan government in 2021.
The Durand Line was drawn between India and Afghanistan during the British period. It divides the traditional land of both the countries and the Pathans on both sides never accept it.
