Afghanistan strikes ISIS bases inside Pakistan after deadly border attack kills 36 civilians in Kabul

Tensions between Afghanistan and Pakistan have escalated sharply after Afghanistan claimed it carried out airstrikes on ISIS hideouts inside Pakistani territory, just two days after Pakistani military operations reportedly killed at least 36 civilians in Afghanistan. While Kabul says the strikes targeted militant infrastructure used to plan attacks against Afghanistan, Pakistan has so far remained silent on the development and has not issued any official statement. The latest exchange marks another major escalation in the deteriorating relationship between the two neighbours, where repeated cross-border military action, diplomatic protests and failed peace efforts have kept the region on edge for months.

The civilian cost of Pakistan’s counter-terrorism war in Afghanistan

In late February, Pakistan launched ‘open war’ on Afghanistan with Operation Ghazal lil-Haq (Wrath for the Truth), marking the most violent period of fighting between the two countries since the Taliban takeover in 2021. For Pakistan, it was a war of retaliation against the Tehreek-e-Taliban, or TTP, a militia sympathetic to the Afghan Taliban. Pakistan has long accused Afghanistan of offering safe harbour to the TTP ‘Tashkeel,’ or administrative structures and combat units, and was fed up with inaction.
