On Tuesday (Nov 25, 2025), Pakistan’s military spokesperson Lt Gen Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry clarified that Islamabad did not carry out any airstrikes inside Afghanistan on Monday night (Nov 24). He emphasized that “Pakistan always makes a formal announcement whenever it undertakes any operation.” ✌️
Responding to Kabul’s claims, Sharif urged Afghan authorities to take verifiable action against terrorist hideouts operating from their territory. ‘No dialogue will take place until we see credible steps against militants responsible for attacks inside Pakistan,’ he said.
The Afghan government condemned the reported strikes that allegedly killed 10 civilians in eastern provinces, calling it a violation of sovereignty. Afghan spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid stressed that defending its airspace and people is Afghanistan’s legitimate right, and promised a necessary response “at the proper time.”
This flare-up follows clashes along the Durand Line in October, which left scores killed and injured on both sides. Young South Asian netizens have since taken to social media—with hashtags like #PeaceInSA and #StopTensions—to call for de-escalation and renewed dialogue. 🙌
As both capitals hold firm, the region watches whether diplomatic talks will resume or if tensions will mount further. Stay tuned for updates as the story develops. 🔍
