## Resource

Pakistan launched fresh airstrikes on Afghanistan’s eastern provinces, escalating tensions after a month of relative calm, claiming to have killed 26 militants linked to recent attacks inside Pakistan. Afghanistan countered with reports of 13 civilian deaths, including children, and 14 wounded. The conflict, reignited since late February, pits Pakistan’s counter-terrorism drive against Afghanistan’s denial of harboring militants — particularly the Pakistani Taliban allied with the Afghan Taliban. Pakistan’s Information Minister defended the strikes as precise, targeting training centers and ammo caches, while dismissing Afghan claims of civilian casualties as propaganda. The strikes followed a deadly attack on a Pakistani security post, and come as the border remains closed since October, stranding thousands and disrupting trade amid Pakistan’s declared state of open war.
