      Haven’t Pakistan been bombing Afghanistan over the last 2-3 weeks?

      Ethnically speaking, the Pashtuns in the Khyber Pakhtunwa region are the same as the majority Afghans.

      The Durand Line drawn in 1893 by British was never accepted by the Afghans (Karzai and others have reported to say that’s an unacceptable solution).

      Taliban has significant presence and influence in the Khyber Pankhtunwa, Sindh and Northern Balochistan. The TTP (Tehreek e Taliban Pakistan) carries out violent attacks regularly

      Earlier this week, Taliban government spokesperson said that Pakistan had shelled four districts in Barmal district in eastern Paktika province.

      According to him, the total number of dead was 46 people, most of whom were children and women. In a statement, the Defense Ministry condemned the strikes and said it would not leave “this cowardly act unanswered.”

      A senior Pakistani security official, said the strikes targeted “terrorist hideouts in Afghanistan using jets and drones.”

      It is important to note that this strike came after the Pakistani Taliban, known as Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan and sharing a common ideology with their Afghan counterparts, had shortly before claimed an attack on an army outpost near the border with Afghanistan, which, according to Pakistani intelligence, killed 16 soldiers.
