46 Deaths Confirmed in Pakistani Airstrikes in Paktika
Bayan News – Hamdullah Fitrat, deputy spokesperson of the interim government, confirmed that 46 people were killed as a result of Pakistani military airstrikes in Paktika province.
On Wednesday (December 25), Fitrat wrote on Platform X that most of those killed in the strikes were women and children.
According to the interim government official, Pakistani fighter jets bombed four locations in the Bermal district of Paktika province last night.
It is reported that Pakistani jets targeted seven sites linked to Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) in Paktika and Khost provinces. However, interim government officials stated that refugees from North Waziristan were attacked in these strikes.
The Ministry of Defense of the interim government warned in response to the attacks that Pakistan’s unilateral actions will not go unanswered.
Furthermore, numerous social media users and political opponents of the Taliban condemned Pakistan’s strikes, describing them as a blatant violation and an infringement on Afghanistan’s sovereignty.
