The Taliban released videos showing attacks on Pakistani military positions following Islamabad’s airstrikes on Afghan territory. The footage highlights Taliban fighters targeting convoys and checkpoints in retaliation. Former U.S. President Donald Trump publicly praised Pakistan’s Army Chief General Asim Munir and Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif for their handling of the escalating conflict, calling it a “strong response to cross-border aggression.” The exchange of strikes has heightened tensions along the Pakistan-Afghanistan border, raising concerns of broader regional instability. International observers urge both sides to pursue dialogue to prevent further civilian casualties and escalation.
