On October 9, 2025, Pakistan reportedly conducted precision airstrikes in Kabul, allegedly targeting Noor Wali Mehsud, leader of the Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP). The strike occurred in the Macroyan district, with conflicting reports on Mehsud's fate. Afghan authorities confirmed explosions but downplayed the incident's severity. Pakistan's Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) confirmed the deaths of 11 Pakistani military personnel in Orakzai district, attributing the attack to TTP militants. This operation underscores Islamabad's frustration with Kabul's failure to curb TTP activities and signals a potential shift in Pakistan's counterterrorism strategy. (PC: X)
