KABUL, March 13, 2026 (BSS/AFP) - Afghan authorities said on Friday that Pakistan had carried out new strikes on Kabul and border provinces, killing four people in the capital. A Pakistani security official, speaking on condition of anonymity, confirmed that Pakistan struck overnight, adding their forces targeted the Pakistani Taliban militant group, known as TTP. Islamabad last month launched a wave of air strikes on its neighbour, an operation it says is targeting militancy following growing attacks in Pakistan. In Kandahar, which is home to the administration's supreme leader Hibatullah Akhundzada, air strikes hit a fuel depot for airline Kam Air, near the airport. Pakistan then declared "open war" against the Taliban authorities, bombing the capital, Kabul, on February 27.
