Pakistan Confirms Strikes On Taliban Sites In Kandahar, Kabul & Paktia
Pakistani sources have confirmed to Afghanistan International that the country’s forces carried out strikes on Friday night against Taliban military sites and infrastructure in the provinces of Kabul, Kandahar and Paktia.
According to the sources, the attacks targeted facilities linked to the Taliban’s Unit 313 and an ammunition depot in Kabul; the Tarawo training center and logistical infrastructure, including a fuel depot, in Kandahar; and the Shirnaw militant camp in Paktia.
The Pakistani sources stressed that militants were being trained at these sites.
Rejection of talks with the Taliban
At the same time, the sources rejected any negotiations or dialogue with the Afghan Taliban. They said no delegation from Pakistan had travelled to Kabul for talks with the group.
Earlier reports had suggested that a Pakistani delegation had gone to Kabul to hold discussions with the Taliban. However, a spokesperson for Pakistan’s foreign ministry also said that no official delegation had travelled to Afghanistan for negotiations.
Pakistan has also warned that if the Taliban do not stop supporting militant groups, they will face serious consequences.
