Pakistan's air force struck fuel depots belonging to the private airline Kam Air near Kandahar Airport, Afghanistan, according to Taliban spokesperson Zabihullah Mujahid. The depots supply fuel to domestic airlines and United Nations aircraft. The attack follows escalating clashes along the disputed Durand Line, including Pakistani shelling in Khost province that killed civilians. Pakistan cites militant groups operating from Afghanistan as justification, while the Taliban denies harboring militants.
