Taliban Targets Pakistan with Missiles After Deadly Airstrikes | Retaliation Beyond Durand Line

In a tense escalation between Afghanistan and Pakistan, the Afghan Taliban has launched missile strikes targeting several points in Pakistan’s border region. This retaliation comes just days after Pakistani airstrikes hit Afghan soil, causing civilian casualties. The Afghan defense ministry has confirmed that the strikes were directed beyond the disputed "hypothetical line" (Durand Line), a border long rejected by Afghanistan. Tensions have been rising as both nations accuse each other of harboring militants responsible for attacks on their respective territories. This new phase of conflict highlights the deep-rooted disputes and challenges in the region. #Afghanistan #Pakistan #Taliban #DurandLine #MilitaryRetaliation #Airstrikes #AfghanConflict #BorderDispute #Geopolitics #MiddleEastNews #AfghanDefense #PakistanMilitary Also Read 26/11 Mastermind’s Aide Abdul Rehman Makki Dies Of Heart Attack In Pakistan :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/26-11-mastermind-s-aide-abdul-rehman-makki-dies-of-heart-attack-in-pakistan-4027327.html?ref=DMDesc EXPLAINED | Why Pakistan Faces A Dual Taliban Threat After Years Of Support :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/15-000-taliban-fighters-march-towards-pakistan-the-betrayal-that-pakistan-never-saw-coming-4026435.html?ref=DMDesc India's Most Wanted Terrorist Masood Azhar Suffers Heart Attack In Pakistan :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/indias-most-wanted-terrorist-masood-azhar-suffers-heart-attack-in-pakistan-011-4026219.html?ref=DMDesc
