Taliban Vow ‘Appropriate Response’ To Pakistani Airstrikes
The Taliban on Tuesday condemned Pakistan’s recent airstrikes in Khost, Kunar and Paktika, describing them as a violation of Afghanistan’s airspace and a breach of international norms.
Zabihullah Mujahid, the Taliban’s spokesperson, said the group viewed the strikes as “aggression" and a crime and stated that the group would respond “appropriately” at a time of their choosing.
He added that the cross-border attacks undermined established regional principles and warned that the Taliban would not allow such actions to go unanswered.
