KABUL, Afghanistan — The Taliban administration in Afghanistan has leveled serious allegations against Pakistan’s armed forces, claiming they conducted deadly overnight bombing raids on residential neighborhoods in the capital city and Kandahar province early Friday morning.
Taliban government spokesperson Zabihullah Mujahid posted on X that the alleged Pakistani air attacks resulted in casualties among women and children living in civilian areas. The claims come as hostilities between the neighboring nations have persisted for three weeks, continuing despite international appeals for both sides to de-escalate.
According to Mujahid’s statement, Pakistani warplanes also bombed fuel storage facilities owned by private carrier Kam Air located near the airport in Kandahar.
Pakistani military officials and government representatives have not yet responded to the Taliban’s accusations.
