The tinderbox has officially exploded. In a massive overnight escalation, Pakistan has declared "Open War" on the Afghan Taliban, launching a devastating military offensive titled Operation Ghazab-lil-Haq (Righteous Fury). In the dead of night, Pakistani jets screamed over the Afghan capital, with massive explosions rocking Kabul, Kandahar, and Paktia. Reports indicate that Brigade Headquarters and ammunition depots have been reduced to rubble as the Pakistan Air Force (PAF) struck deep into Afghan territory.
