Airstrike on many military bases of Pakistan including Nowshera, Islamabad, Munir’s advisor also died
New Delhi : A dangerous turn has come in the geopolitics of South Asia. The ongoing tension between Afghanistan and Pakistan now seems to be moving towards open military conflict. On Friday, the Afghan Defense Ministry officially announced that their air force had crossed the border and targeted several important military targets inside Pakistan. This action is being said to be a strong revenge for the aerial bombardment carried out by Pakistan on Afghan cities. This conflict has put regional stability in serious jeopardy.
Horrible action by Afghan Air Force
Let us tell you that at around 11 am on Friday morning, the Afghan Air Force started a bold military operation inside Pakistan. A major military camp in Faisalabad, located near the capital Islamabad, was targeted. Apart from this, Army Cantonment of Nowshera. Precise bombing was also carried out on the military colony of Jamrud and the positions of Abbottabad. The biggest news of this attack is the death of ‘Aashiq’, advisor to the Pakistani Army Chief. The Taliban claim that they have caused deep damage to the Pakistani military infrastructure.
Taliban’s strict warning to Pakistan
Taliban spokesperson Zabihullah Mujahid has described these air strikes as just a beginning. He clearly says that if Pakistan does not stop its infiltration. So they will target even bigger cities in the coming time. This action is a response to that air intrusion. Which Pakistan did in Kabul the night before. Was done in Afghan cities like Kandahar and Paktika. Afghanistan’s message is clear that they are now ready to go to any military limit to protect their sovereignty.
The dam of patience is now completely broken
On the other end. Pakistan’s Defense Minister Khawaja Mohammad Asif has described the current situation as ‘open war’. Expressing his intense displeasure on social media, he said that the dam of Pakistan’s patience has now completely broken. Islamabad alleges that there was hope for peace in Afghanistan after the departure of NATO forces. He is now in complete danger. Although. The Pakistan government rejected the Afghan claims and said that none of its soldiers had been taken prisoner.
Conflicting claims on casualties
There is a huge contradiction in the official statements of both the countries regarding the number of casualties. Afghanistan claims that 55 Pakistani soldiers have been killed in their attacks and many have been captured. There itself. Pakistan says that they have killed 133 Taliban fighters and injured more than 200. Pakistan’s advisor Ataullah Tarar has confirmed only two deaths. Amidst this maze of claims, the ground reality is still not completely clear.
The worst impact is on the general public and helpless refugees.
The worst impact of this increasing tension on the border is falling on the general public and helpless refugees. A large number of Afghan refugees present on the Torkham border have been sent to safer places due to security reasons. According to the United Nations report. Last year, lakhs of people left Pakistan and returned to their country. But the current military conflict has made this entire process more complicated. If this war continues for a long time. So a new and terrible humanitarian crisis is sure to arise in South Asia.
