After Pakistan’s recent air raids inside Afghanistan, Afghanistan’s **Taliban government claimed it retaliated with drone strikes on a Pakistani army camp in Kohat, marking a serious escalation in cross‑border tensions. Pakistan had conducted airstrikes in Kabul and Kandahar, targeting what it described as militant hideouts, which Kabul condemned as violations of sovereignty. The conflict is part of a broader surge in hostilities between the neighbours, with both sides exchanging strikes and blaming each other for harbouring militants, raising fears of a wider military confrontation.
