🚨🇵🇰🇦🇫 — Pakistan’s Information Minister Attaullah Tarar condemned drone incursions launched from Afghan territory on September 23, describing them as a violation of Pakistani sovereignty and an act of aggression by the Taliban authorities. Pakistan said its air defenses neutralized all incoming drones before they reached their targets. It responded with “calibrated precision strikes” on 10 specific locations in Afghanistan identified as being used for drone operations, citing its right to self-defense.

➡️ Reports placed the 10 sites across Kandahar, Khost and Paktia provinces, including Gardez. A separate source in Paktia reported that a Taliban military base in Gardez had been struck. The Gardez report and the extent of damage across the three provinces remain unverified.

➡️ An Afghan government source speaking to Al Jazeera denied that any drones had been launched from Afghanistan, characterizing Pakistan’s accusations as a pretext for the strikes.
