Pakistan airstrikes strain ties with Afghanistan as India calls for action on terrorism

Tensions are rising between Pakistan and Afghanistan after airstrikes in Kabul, with India accusing Pakistan of destabilizing the region. The three countries have responded according to their strategic priorities, but all stress the importance of managing the situation to avoid further instability, according to a report.

Pakistan’s airstrikes in Afghanistan, claiming self-defense against insurgent groups on the Durand Line, have sparked backlash. Afghanistan insists on its sovereignty and calls for an investigation, while Pakistan defends its actions as necessary to protect its people from terrorism. India, supporting Afghanistan, has called for collective action against terrorism.

The strikes occurred while Taliban Foreign Minister Amir Khan Muttaqi visited India, marking the first time a Taliban minister has met with other nations. India expressed solidarity with Afghanistan, urging a peaceful resolution and regional cooperation against extremism.
