Afghanistan's defence ministry announced its air force executed "precise and coordinated" strikes on multiple Pakistani military installations, including the strategically significant Nur Khan Airbase in Rawalpindi, the same base previously targeted during India's Operation Sindoor. Kabul stated the strikes were a direct retaliation for recent Pakistani air incursions into Afghan territory, specifically over Kabul and Bagram. The development marks a dramatic escalation in Afghanistan-Pakistan tensions, opening a fresh front of regional conflict. Pakistan has yet to issue any official response or confirmation regarding the strikes, leaving key details about damage and casualties unverified as the situation continues to rapidly evolve.
