Pakistan has said its security forces killed 22 militants during a joint operation in the Khyber district near the Afghanistan border. The operation reportedly involved an intense exchange of fire between security personnel and armed groups in a region that has seen rising violence. The incident has drawn attention after a 10-year-old child was killed in the crossfire, highlighting the risks faced by civilians in conflict zones. While authorities describe those killed as militants, independent verification of such claims remains limited.

A massive airstrike has struck Kabul’s largest rehabilitation hospital, leaving 400 dead and 250 injured. The 2,000-bed medical facility, critical for treating patients across Afghanistan, has been shattered, sparking outrage and international concern. Afghan authorities have accused Pakistan of violating airspace with precision strikes that targeted civilians, while Pakistan firmly denies allegations, claiming their attacks were limited to Taliban infrastructure, military installations and ammunition storage facilities across Kabul and Nangarhar.
