Afghanistan’s Ministry of Defence announced that its Air Force had conducted precise and coordinated aerial operations against multiple Pakistani military installations targeting key airbase in Rawalpindi.
In a social media post, the Afghan defence ministry said, the strikes were aimed at major Pakistani military facilities, including the Nur Khan Airbase in Rawalpindi, the 12th Division headquarters in Quetta, Balochistan, and the Khwazai Camp in the Mohmand Agency of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
It also claimed that several strategic command centres across Pakistan were also targeted during the operation. It said, based on preliminary assessments, the strikes successfully caused significant damage to the intended targets. The Ministry said, these operations were carried out in response to the recent aerial incursions by the Pakistani military, which struck Kabul, Bagram. It stressed that any further breach of Afghan airspace or acts of aggression by Pakistan would invite a swift, decisive, and proportionate response.
The developments come less than a week after Islamabad declared war on the Afghan Taliban administration following renewed cross-border clashes between Afghan and Pakistani forces. Pakistan carried out airstrikes in Kabul and Kandahar last Friday.
