New Delhi: Tensions between Afghanistan and Pakistan have grown after new military attacks near their border. The situation has created fear that the conflict could become bigger in South Asia.
Afghan security officials said they carried out airstrikes as a reply to earlier attacks they blame on Pakistan. Afghanistan claimed that one strike happened near the Prime Minister’s Office in Islamabad. Reports say several places were targeted, but full details about damage are still not confirmed.
Afghan authorities said the attacks were a response and warned that more action could happen if tensions continue. Pakistan has not fully accepted these claims but said its forces are alert and ready to protect the country.
Experts say Afghanistan may not have as many modern weapons as Pakistan, but its mountains give it a strong defense advantage. Afghan fighters also have many years of war experience and often use guerrilla-style attacks, which makes fighting in the region difficult.The situation is now being watched closely by the world, as many countries want both sides to reduce tensions and avoid a larger war.
