Pakistan carried out new airstrikes in Afghanistan’s Paktika province just hours after extending a ceasefire with Kabul
Pakistan reportedly launched fresh airstrikes inside Afghanistan’s Paktika province on Friday, just hours after both countries agreed to extend a fragile 48-hour ceasefire meant to cool rising border tensions, News18 reported citing TOLO News.
According to the report, Pakistani military aircraft targeted residential areas in the Argun and Barmal districts of Paktika, a province located along the volatile Durand Line, which separates the two nations. So far, no casualties have been confirmed.
Ceasefire undermined within hours
The strikes took place even as Islamabad and Kabul had mutually decided to extend their truce until the conclusion of peace talks in Doha, the Qatari capital, where delegations from both sides are holding discussions to de-escalate the crisis.
