While the Afghan Ministry didn’t directly mention Pakistan, it said the targets were sites used by "malicious elements" accused of planning and carrying out attacks in Afghanistan. These sites were located "beyond the hypothetical line," an area both Afghanistan and Pakistan claim as their own. π‘π₯ Afghan officials warned of retaliation after Pakistan’s airstrikes killed civilians, though Pakistan said their airstrikes were aimed at militant hideouts. π―π« Afghanistan views these airstrikes as violations of its sovereignty. π«π΅π°
The Taliban’s retaliatory strikes have made the already strained relationship between the two nations even worse. π¦π«❌π΅π° Pakistan has long accused Afghanistan of sheltering militants responsible for attacks on its soil, a claim the Afghan Taliban strongly denies. On the other hand, Afghanistan claims that many militants operating on its soil have ties to Pakistan. ππ€―
