PAK-AFG tensions rise as Pakistan launches retaliatory drone strikes in Kandahar

Tensions along the Pakistan-Afghanistan border escalated as Pakistan launched retaliatory air and drone strikes in response to a recent Afghan attack. Operations targeted multiple regions, including residential areas in Kandahar, which Islamabad claims were aimed at neutralising Afghan military threats. Pakistan's Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi condemned the Afghan strikes on civilians as a "blatant violation of international law", asserting that Pakistani security forces had responded swiftly and effectively.
