🇵🇰 Pakistan Strikes Kandahar Fuel Depot, Kabul Residences After Week-long LullAfter nearly a week of relative calm, Pakistan launched fresh airstrikes on Friday targeting a major fuel depot in Kandahar and several residential areas in Kabul, reigniting cross-border tensions with Afghanistan. Security officials confirmed that the strikes hit fuel storage facilities allegedly used by militants, triggering massive explosions visible across parts of Kandahar city.In Kabul, local authorities reported civilian casualties after missiles struck residential neighborhoods, though specific numbers remain unverified. The attacks mark the end of a brief lull following last week’s exchange of fire along the border, which both sides blamed on militant activity.Islamabad maintains that the operations were aimed at “anti-Pakistan terror elements” based in Afghan territory. In contrast, the government condemned the strikes as violations of Afghanistan’s sovereignty, warning of potential retaliation.Analysts say the renewed violence underscores fragile ties between the two neighbors, already strained by security concerns and refugee disputes. Regional observers fear the situation could escalate if diplomatic channels fail to contain hostilities.🇵🇰
