On Tuesday, Pakistan announced retaliatory military actions against Afghan Taliban positions along its border, citing unprovoked aggression and attacks by the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP). The Pakistan Army targeted multiple posts in the Chaman sector as part of Operation Ghazab Lil Haq, which was launched on February 26 in response to previous assaults on border posts. The operation aims to neutralize threats from Afghan Taliban elements and the TTP, which Pakistan refers to as 'Fitna al-Khawarij.' Recent clashes have resulted in civilian casualties, including the deaths of three individuals, two of whom were children, in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa's Bajaur district due to alleged shelling by Afghan forces. This escalation follows a history of tit-for-tat actions between the two nations, with Pakistan accusing TTP leaders of operating from Afghan territory, a claim denied by Kabul. The ongoing hostilities have led to the closure of border crossings and the suspension of trade, further straining relations between Pakistan and Afghanistan.
