Kabul: The Defense Ministry of Afghanistan said Sunday it would meet the reported Pakistani strikes on its soil with an 'appropriate and measured response' at a 'suitable time.' The ministry condemned the attacks "in the strongest possible terms" on US social media company X, describing them as a clear violation of national sovereignty, international law, principles of good neighborliness and Islamic values.

According to Anadolu Agency, Pakistani forces reportedly carried out airstrikes in several areas of eastern and southeastern Afghanistan, as reported by Afghan media and the Pakistani Ministry of Information. The Ministry of Information and Broadcasting wrote on X that Pakistan conducted intelligence-based selective targeting of seven terrorist camps and hideouts belonging to the Pakistani Taliban of Fitna al Khwarij (FAK) and its affiliates and Islamic State of Khorasan Province (ISKP) at the border region.

The strikes were reportedly in response to recent suicide bombings in Pakistan. Pakistan's Ministry of Information and Broadcasting stated that the country expects the Interim Afghan Government to fulfill its obligations and deny the use of its soil by Khwarij and terrorists against Pakistan. The ministry emphasized that the safety and security of its people are paramount.

Moreover, Pakistan pledged to avenge the killing of two security personnel on Saturday in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, asserting that any attack launched from Afghanistan would not go unanswered.
