Afghanistan successfully prevented a Pakistani military airstrike on Bagram airbase, as reported by media. The police headquarters in central Parwan revealed that Pakistani jets conducted the airstrike within Bagram Airbase’s airspace early in the morning. Thanks to the swift response of Bagram’s defensive and air forces, utilizing defense systems, the enemy’s actions were neutralized without any casualties or damage reported.
The provincial police headquarters emphasized the importance of safeguarding Afghanistan’s airspace and sovereignty as a crucial responsibility. They warned of firm and lawful actions in response to any threats to Afghanistan’s territory or people. Additionally, Afghanistan’s Defence Ministry claimed to have seized four Pakistani military bases following retaliatory attacks against Pakistani troops. Taliban Defence Spokesperson Enayatullah Khwarazmi confirmed the capture and reported the death of 32 Pakistani soldiers during the operation.
The Defence Ministry further stated that two Pakistani drones were shot down during the clashes, which occurred in various provinces of Pakistan. The escalating tensions between Afghanistan and Pakistan led to reciprocal attacks, with Afghanistan targeting Pakistani Army posts and military centers along the Durand Line. In response, Pakistan initiated ‘Operation Ghazab lil-Haq’ after accusing Afghan forces of unprovoked firing across border sectors. Pakistan’s Air Force conducted airstrikes on military installations in Kabul, Kandahar, and Paktia, escalating the conflict between the two nations.
