Pakistan's military has firmly denied conducting cross-border strikes in Afghanistan this week, calling recent claims from Kabul 'incorrect' and urging 'verifiable action' against militant groups. The dispute comes amid escalating tensions between the neighboring nations, with both sides trading accusations over sovereignty violations.
Lt. Gen. Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry, spokesperson for Pakistan's military, stated on Tuesday: 'We always announce operations formally.' He emphasized that Afghanistan must address terrorist hideouts on its soil before dialogue resumes. 🔥
Meanwhile, Afghan officials condemned reported Monday night air strikes they say killed 10 people in eastern regions. Government spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid called it an attack on sovereignty, vowing a 'necessary response at the proper time.' 💬
This latest friction follows deadly clashes along the border last month that left casualties on both sides. With trust at a low point in 2025, regional analysts warn the situation risks destabilizing security cooperation established earlier this year.
