Pakistan attacked Afghanistan at night.

Yesterday, on February 21, the Pakistani military aviation carried out airstrikes against militants in the eastern regions of Afghanistan. While the Pakistani government described these strikes as "operations against precise targets based on intelligence information," the Afghan government objected to this.

 

Pakistani officials stated that during the attacks, strikes were carried out against "Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan" (TTP) and its affiliated groups. According to an official statement, these groups may be behind the extremely dangerous attacks carried out in Pakistan recently.

 

The Pakistani government, including the Ministry of Information in Islamabad, called the attacks a measure to "ensure the country's security" and demanded the international community put pressure on Afghanistan.

 

The Afghan government reported that dozens of civilians, particularly women and children, were killed as a result of the attacks. Preliminary information indicates at least 17 people, including several family members, were killed.

 

According to Afghan officials, the strike targeted houses in the Bihsud district, and 12 children and adolescents were killed in this house. Furthermore, photos and videos showing many people injured and residential areas destroyed are circulating on social media.

 

The Afghan Ministry of Defense condemned the attack and warned that a fitting and timely response would be given to Pakistan.
