Diplomatic and military tensions between Afghanistan and Pakistan have reached a critical boiling point following fresh airstrikes conducted inside Afghan territory. The military action prompted severe outrage from Kabul, leading to direct pushback against cross-border operations. Addressing the volatile situation, Border and Tribal Affairs Minister Noorullah Noori cautioned military leadership to remember Afghan historical resilience.
Noorullah Noori Issues Direct Warning
Noorullah Noori stated firmly that neighbouring authorities must refrain from testing the endurance and patience of the Afghan population. He made a direct claim that, should circumstances escalate, an Afghan flag could be raised over Peshawar in just two days. The minister emphasized that repeated territorial breaches would not be ignored.
Contrasting Claims Over Border Strikes
The latest friction erupted after aerial strikes were carried out on Thursday morning across multiple frontier locations. Islamabad justified the intervention by maintaining that the operations specifically targeted terrorist safe havens and infrastructure linked to hostile drone launches. Kabul dismissed that rationale, declaring the strikes a flagrant assault on sovereign territory that severely damages regional security.
