Pakistan has launched a massive military offensive along the Afghanistan border, carrying out airstrikes and ground attacks across multiple locations including Kabul, Kandahar, and Nangarhar. Islamabad claims hundreds of Taliban fighters were killed, dozens of military posts destroyed, and armored vehicles wiped out during the operation. Pakistan says the strikes were retaliation for deadly cross-border attacks that killed its soldiers, while Afghan Taliban forces have responded with their own assaults. Fighter jets, artillery, and heavy weapons have been deployed as both sides prepare for further escalation.
