Pakistan conducted air raids inside Afghanistan, targeting armed groups like the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan. The move followed a recent attack on a Pakistani military checkpost by suicide bombers in a border area near Afghanistan. The Afghan Taliban denounced the raids and responded by firing mortar shells towards Pakistani military positions, resulting in civilian and military injuries. Relations between the two countries have deteriorated as Pakistan struggles with internal terrorism, particularly from the Pakistan Taliban. Tensions have escalated with concerns over border control and the potential for further retaliatory actions between the nations.
