Pakistan's Deadly Airstrikes on Afghanistan: War Clouds Loom in India’s Neighborhood
•Pakistan conducted massive airstrikes on a Kabul drug rehabilitation hospital, killing 400 and injuring over 250, escalating tensions with Afghanistan.
•Taliban spokesperson Zabihullah Mujahid condemned the strikes as a violation of sovereignty and vowed retaliation, declaring an end to diplomacy with Pakistan.
•Pakistan claims the strikes were part of 'Operation Ghazab Lil Haq' targeting militant infrastructure linked to groups operating from Afghan territory.
•Despite the Taliban's vow, Pakistan holds a significant military advantage, including a modern air force and nuclear weapons, while Afghanistan relies on irregular warfare.
•The conflict risks wider escalation, posing instability for India, with potential for cross-border raids and insurgent attacks along the challenging Durand Line.
