Kabul. Afghanistan has confirmed Pakistan’s air strike in the border areas and said that dozens of civilians have been killed in this attack. Taliban spokesperson Zubiullah Mujahit has said that Pakistan suddenly launched air strikes in Nangarhar and Paktika provinces last night. Dozens of people lost their lives in this, including women and children.
According to media reports, Pakistani Army attacked a residential building in Nangarhar in which about 23 people of a family lived. The family is buried under the debris. Till now only four people have been rescued. The Taliban has said that Pakistan has carried out air strikes in Bermal and Argun districts. It was said from Islamabad that terrorist hideouts in the border areas have been targeted to avenge the terrorist attack in Pakistan.
According to the report, Zabiullah Mujabit said that Pakistan has taken the lives of innocent people by committing nefarious acts. He said that Pakistani Army has intruded. He said that Pakistan’s generals try to improve their image by doing similar activities. He said that Pakistan has interfered in the airspace of Afghanistan. In such a situation, Afghanistan also has the right to reply. The attack will be carried out when the right time comes. Pakistan says that an army lieutenant colonel and a soldier were killed in a suicide attack on Saturday in Bannu area of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa and this air strike has been carried out to avenge the same. After this, in a statement issued by the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting, it has been said that Pakistan has strong evidence that these incidents of terrorism, including the attack on the Shia Mosque in Islamabad and the incident in Bannu on Saturday, were allegedly carried out by the Khawarij at the behest of their masters and handlers based in Afghanistan.
The ministry said responsibility for the attacks was claimed by the Afghanistan-based Pakistani Taliban and their affiliates, the Fitnah al-Khwariz (FAK), and the Islamic State of Khorasan Province. He said that Pakistan also hopes that the international community will play a positive and constructive role in urging the Taliban regime to abide by its commitments under the Doha Agreement to prevent the use of its territory against other countries and this work is extremely important for regional and global peace and security. The ministry said that Pakistan has always endeavored to maintain peace and stability in the region, but the safety of our citizens is our top priority.
