Pakistan Reports Over 3,500 Killed in Terror Attacks Launched from Afghanistan in 2026
Pakistan stated that over 3,500 people have been killed this year in terror attacks planned and launched from Afghanistan. The Pakistani Foreign Office rejected Afghan claims that 1,119 Afghan civilians were harmed in Pakistani military strikes since late 2021, calling these allegations baseless. Pakistan accused the Afghan Taliban regime of sheltering terrorist groups like Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan and the Balochistan Liberation Army, urging the international community to hold the Taliban accountable for preventing Afghan soil from being used for terrorism.
