Hamdullah Fitrat, deputy spokesman for the Islamic Emirate, provided details of the casualties from the strikes:<\/p>\n
\u00b7 Mando Khail area, Chamkani District, Paktia Province Two strikes on this location killed 28 people and injured 158 others. According to local sources, the first strike targeted a house, and a second strike hit as residents gathered for rescue and relief efforts.<\/p>\n
\u00b7 Walast area, Gayan District, Paktika Province Six people, including women and children, were killed.<\/p>\n
\u00b7 Barolo area, Manora District, Kunar Province A civilian house was destroyed and financial losses incurred.<\/p>\n
Zabihullah Mujahid, spokesman for the Islamic Emirate, confirmed the strikes and wrote on his X account: “We strongly condemn this cowardly act and aggression, and consider it a crime and a barbaric act.”<\/p>\n
Hamid Karzai, former president of Afghanistan, called the strikes a violation of national sovereignty and international norms, expressing sympathy with the families of the victims.<\/p>\n
He emphasized that Pakistan’s interests lie in abandoning its confrontational policies and engaging with Afghanistan based on the principles of good neighborliness and civilized relations.<\/p>\n
Matin Naseri, a political analyst, said: “Pakistan is trying to contain the security threats posed by the TTP and simultaneously pressure the Afghan government.<\/p>\n
The killing of civilians could increase political tensions and further complicate bilateral relations.”<\/p>\n
Rohullah Hotak, another political analyst, stated that these strikes constitute a violation of Afghan airspace and the bombing of civilian homes, which will intensify anti-Pakistan sentiment among Afghans.<\/p>\n
Sadeq Shinwari, a military analyst, speaking to weezha Roz, noted: “Civilian casualties indicate intelligence weaknesses, operational errors, or disregard for these principles, and will have wide-ranging security and political consequences.”<\/p>\n
He emphasized that under international law, the principles of distinction between military targets and civilians, as well as proportionality, must be observed.<\/p>\n
Pakistan’s Information Minister, Attaullah Tarar, claimed the strikes were conducted “based on credible intelligence” in response to the recent attack by the Jamaat-ul-Ahrar group in Karachi, which killed three Pakistani soldiers.<\/p>\n
According to him, 25 militants were killed in these operations.<\/p>\n
Three weeks ago, Pakistani forces had also violated Afghanistan’s airspace with airstrikes on Kunar, Khost, and Paktika provinces, killing 11 and wounding 14.<\/p>\n
The United Nations had previously reported that hundreds of civilians had been killed and wounded in border clashes in the first months of this year.<\/p>\n
