Pakistani forces launched an airstrike on the Afghan capital, Kabul, significantly escalating tensions between the two countries. Afghan media and local residents reported explosions in the city's outskirts. Details of the attack have not yet been released, but the incident is likely related to ongoing border clashes with the Taliban.

The strike followed a series of battles along the border, including fierce clashes near Chaman and Spin Boldak, where both sides suffered casualties. Afghan authorities accuse Pakistan of violating their sovereignty, and the Taliban have promised retaliation. Tensions are heightened by Pakistan's nuclear arsenal—the country is expected to have approximately 170 warheads by 2025—making the situation particularly dangerous.

Earlier, on October 14, Pakistan destroyed several Taliban tanks and shelled their positions. Today's strike on Kabul could escalate the conflict, which has already killed dozens of soldiers and civilians. International mediators, including Qatar, are calling for an immediate ceasefire.
