Pakistan blamed the Afghan government for facilitating the attacks.

Afghan officials stated that the airstrikes targeted civilian targets and religious centres and resulted in 18 civilian fatalities in Nangarhar province. [25] [26] [27] [16] Pakistani officials denied Afghan authorities' allegations of targeting civilians in Afghanistan, while The Express Tribune , citing military sources, reported 80 militant fatalities. [14] [28] While UNAMA also confirmed civilian casualties, Afghanistan condemned Pakistan's airstrikes and vowed a calculated response to the aggression. [29] [30]

On 26 February 2026, Afghanistan launched a retaliatory operation against Pakistan, engaging in border clashes and drone attacks on Pakistan. In response, Pakistan launched Operation Ghazab Lil Haq [f] against the Taliban. [31] [32] This operation followed an escalation in border skirmishes and cross-border firing incidents along the Durand Line, involving the Afghan Taliban and Pakistan Armed Forces. [33] The following day, Defence Minister of Pakistan Khawaja Asif announced a state of "open war" with Afghanistan, with Pakistan escalating its airstrikes and striking targets throughout Afghanistan, including the capital of Kabul. [34]

Background

The conflict occurred against the backdrop of long-running tensions between Pakistan and the Taliban government of Afghanistan, centred on Pakistan's accusations that Afghan soil is used as a safe haven by the Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) and other militants to launch attacks inside Pakistan. [30] [35] While on 19 October 2025, a Qatar-mediated ceasefire was brokered after the deadliest cross-border clashes in years, [30] [35] [36] [37] its practical implementation was fragile, as the subsequent talks failed to produce a lasting agreement, resulting in continued low-level skirmishes. [30] [35] [38] The operation took place days after the Saudi Arabian-mediated release of three Pakistani soldiers captured during the October 2025 clashes. [26]

On 11 February 2026, Pakistani Defence Minister Khawaja Asif warned that Pakistan may take action against militants in Afghanistan before the start of the Islamic month of Ramadan if the Taliban fail to deter militant activities from the territory under their control. [39] In February 2026, Pakistan experienced multiple terror attacks on its territory, notably a series of attacks throughout the province of Balochistan over the course of a week from 29 January to 5 February by the Balochistan Liberation Army, a suicide bombing at a Shia mosque on 6 February by the Islamic State's Pakistan Province in the capital city of Islamabad which killed 36 people, and an attack on a checkpoint in Bajaur on 16 February by the Pakistani Taliban which killed 11 soldiers and a child. In response to the latter, the Pakistani government issued a démarche to the Afghan ambassador on 19 February. [40] [41] [42] A warning followed that Pakistan "would not hesitate" to launch air operations inside Afghanistan if the Taliban government did not take action against militant groups using its territory. [43] [44] [45]

Conflict

Airstrikes

During the late hours of 21 February, local sources in Afghanistan reported airstrikes in parts of Nangarhar, Paktika, and Khost provinces. In Nangarhar, the strikes were reported in Bihsud and Khogyani districts, while in Paktika, they were reported in Barmal and Urgun districts. Local sources also reported strikes in parts of Khost province, although no further details were provided. Local sources report that the airstrikes in Nangarhar province's Bihsud district struck a civilian home, trapping 23 people beneath the rubble. [16]

In a late-night press release, Pakistani officials confirmed that the Pakistan Air Force had carried out airstrikes in Afghanistan. Officials said the strikes were selective and intelligence-based, and targeted seven militant camps and hideouts linked to the Pakistani Taliban and Islamic State Khorasan Province near the Pakistan–Afghanistan border. Additionally, Pakistan's officials stated that the strikes were conducted as retaliation for the recent terror attacks in Islamabad, Bajaur, and Bannu. [46] [14] A Pakistani newspaper, citing military sources, reported that the seven TTP hideouts in Nangarhar, Paktika, and Khost provinces were destroyed and that more than 80 militants were killed; [14] however, Taliban officials in Afghanistan stated that airstrikes took place in Nangarhar and Paktika provinces. They said an airstrike in Bihsud District killed 18 civilians, including 11 children. Afghan Taliban officials also condemned the airstrikes and warned of a calculated response at an appropriate time. [19] [47]

Shayesteh Jan Ahadi, former head of the Paktia Provincial Council, stated that Pakistani airstrikes in several districts were very widespread and powerful. [48] The UN Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA) reported that Pakistan carried out airstrikes between 11:45 p.m. on 21 February and 12:15 a.m. on 22 February. UNAMA also reported that airstrikes in Paktika province damaged or destroyed infrastructure. On 23 February, UNAMA confirmed that over thirteen civilians had been killed by the Pakistani airstrikes, with an additional seven injured. [18] [19] [49]

Continued hostilities

24 February

On 24 February, the hostilities resumed as both countries exchanged fire along their borders while both sides blamed each other for provocations. Zabihullah Noorani, head of the Afghan information department in eastern Nangarhar, stated that Pakistani troops carried out the first shots in the Shahkot area near the border. [50]

26 February

On 26 February, at around 20:00 local time (15:30 GMT), Taliban-led Afghanistan's officials announced the launch of what they described as a "retaliatory operation" along the border in the provinces of Nangarhar, Nuristan, Kunar, Khost, Paktia, and Paktika. [51] As per the Taliban officials, 55 Pakistani soldiers were killed, and several others were captured. Taliban-led Afghanistan's officials further added that one military headquarters and 19 border outposts had been captured, while 4 border outposts were destroyed during the operation. [52] Zabihullah Mujahid named seven of the border outposts that Taliban officials claimed to have captured. According to reports, the outposts were located inside Afghanistan, and it remained unclear how border outposts belonging to Pakistani forces were located on Afghan soil. [53] At midnight local time (19:30 GMT), the Taliban-led Afghan Ministry of Defense announced the end of its four-hour operation. Pakistani officials rejected Taliban claims and stated that military action against Taliban forces was continuing. They further added that the attack had been repulsed, that the Taliban had suffered heavy losses, and that two Pakistani soldiers had been killed and three others were injured during the four-hour engagement. [54]

In response to the Taliban's operation, Pakistan launched operation Ghazab Lil Haq and carried out air and ground strikes against Afghan Taliban positions in Kabul, Kandahar, Paktia, and Nangarhar. [55] Faisal Karim Kundi, governor of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, stated that the Afghan Taliban started the war and Pakistan will be the one to end it, [56] while Khawaja Asif, Pakistan's defense minister, announced the start of 'open war' between the two countries. [57] Pakistani officials stated that around 133 Taliban fighters were killed and more than 200 were injured during the clashes and subsequent operation. They further added that the airstrikes destroyed two corps headquarters, three brigade headquarters, two ammunition depots, one logistics base, three battalion headquarters, two sector headquarters, and more than 80 tanks, artillery pieces, and APCs (armoured personnel carriers). Pakistani officials also said that 27 border posts held by Taliban forces were destroyed and nine were captured. [58] Taliban spokesperson Zabihullah Mujahid confirmed airstrikes in Kabul, Kandahar, Paktia, and several other locations, and stated that these airstrikes did not cause any casualties. [59] The Taliban spokesperson also announced on X (formerly Twitter) that Taliban forces had responded to the airstrikes with attacks against Pakistani military positions in Kandahar and Helmand, two provinces in Afghanistan, although the post was later deleted. [60] [61]

In Kabul, residents reported that airstrikes struck an ammunition depot near Darulaman, triggering hours of secondary explosions that rattled homes across the capital. [62] [63] Residents also reported hearing the sound of many ambulance sirens following the airstrike on the ammunition depot. [57] Satellite images reviewed by The New York Times confirmed an airstrike on an ammunition depot in Kabul. [64] Additionally, satellite imagery released by Planet Labs revealed damage at two locations in Kabul, which are 400 meters apart. In Gardez, scorch marks and damage to four buildings at a military base belonging to Taliban forces were visible from satellite imagery. Furthermore, NASA gathered and published data indicating a significant heat signature at the military base, suggesting that a sizeable fire had erupted at the site overnight. [65] In Kandahar, Pakistan's officials released aerial footage of a large explosion at an ammunition depot near Kandahar International Airport. BBC News, using satellite imagery, confirmed the location of an ammunition depot in Kandahar. In Paktika, a video shared on social media showed smoke rising from a Taliban military base in the Urgun District. BBC News confirmed the location by matching roads and a distinctive foreground building with satellite imagery. [66] Analysts at Maiar, an intelligence firm, stated that Pakistan's strikes on buildings and other infrastructure in Afghanistan appeared to be largely confined to military sites. They said that one of the buildings struck in Kabul appeared to be a military headquarters or command-and-control centre, and that vehicles parked nearby suggested the building had been occupied. In Kandahar, the analysts reported damage to at least two buildings within a large complex, which they assessed to be a headquarters of some kind. [67]

The airstrikes carried out by the Pakistan Air Force in Kandahar province also struck the former home of Mullah Omar, the late founder of the Taliban, which was currently serving as a base for the Taliban's suicide unit. The property is located about one kilometer from the residence of the current Taliban leader, Hibatullah Akhundzada. According to local Afghan sources, about 15 Taliban members were killed in the strike. Elsewhere in the province, parts of Spin Boldak District were also struck. [13] Additionally, Taliban forces' facility in Pul-e-Charkhi was also struck by Pakistan Air Force. [68] Following Pakistan's airstrikes on Kabul and Kandahar, Zabihullah Mujahid stated that the Taliban were ready to negotiate with Pakistan. [57]

27 February

In the morning, the Pakistan Air Force carried out airstrikes in parts of Paktika and Laghman provinces, according to local Afghan sources. The airstrike in Laghman targeted the 201 Khalid Ibn Walid Corps, while the one in Paktika struck a house. [69] However, according to some Afghan sources, the Taliban-led Afghan armed forces base in Paktika was the one that was struck by the Pakistan Air Force. [70] Afghan local sources also report an airstrike on the Taliban-led Afghan border brigade in Paktika province. [71] Later the same day, at around noon, the Taliban-led Afghan border brigade in Gardez city was also struck by an airstrike carried out by Pakistan's air force.

On the same day, the Taliban-led Afghan Ministry of Defense announced that it had carried out airstrikes in Pakistan targeting military sites in Faizabad, Nowshera, Jamrud, and Abbottabad. The ministry did not provide details about the type of aircraft or equipment allegedly used in the attacks. [74] Pakistani officials, however, stated that attempts to strike in Abbottabad, Swabi, and Nowshera using small drones had been foiled using anti-drone systems. They denied that any strike had taken place in Faizabad or Jamrud, [75] and said that these attacks were the work of the Pakistani Taliban rather than the Afghan Taliban. [76] The drone in Swabi crashed near a girls' school, injuring a student. [77] A quadcopter attack on a mosque in Bannu injured five worshippers. Pakistan subsequently imposed a countrywide ban on drone flights. [22]

During the same day, Pakistan's army spokesperson stated that Operation Ghazab Lil Haq was continuing successfully against the Afghan Taliban. He said Pakistani forces had repulsed insurgents at 53 border locations, killing 274 militants, injuring more than 400.

Later that day, Afghan Taliban officials announced that they had launched a new wave of attacks against Pakistani border guards in the border areas of Khost and Paktia provinces. [80] The fighting later spread to the border areas of Kunar and Nangarhar provinces. [81] The same day, Pakistani Taliban leader Noor Wali Mehsud ordered the group's fighters to intensify and systematically carry out attacks in support of the Afghan Taliban. He also instructed them to post video evidence of their attacks directly on social media without prior permission. [1] Jamaat ul Ahrar, an offshoot of the Pakistani Taliban, also ordered its fighters to intensify attacks in Pakistan in response to Pakistani airstrikes against the Afghan Taliban. It also said that its fighters would step up attacks in the provinces of Sindh and Punjab. [8] Following these orders, militant attacks on Police stations and outposts were reported in Peshawar, Bannu, Hangu, and Mattani, injuring a police officer and a civilian. [23]

An AFP journalist reported hearing sounds of two loud explosions from the direction of Jalalabad airport. [83] Pakistan's media outlet also reported an airstrike in Nangarhar province targeting several Taliban headquarters. [84] On the same day, Afghan forces claimed a Pakistani fighter was shot down over Jalalabad using anti-aircraft guns, with the pilot captured alive. [85] Pakistan rejected the Afghan Taliban's claim, labeling it as wartime propaganda. [86] Afterwards, the detained individual was severely beaten by the Afghan Taliban and locals, while being paraded through the market area in Jalalabad, with Taliban officials terming the event as an important war operation. However, later on, it was revealed that the pilot that Afghan forces captured was an ordinary Afghan national who was a parachutist and had no connection to the Pakistani army. Further investigation also revealed that news of downing a fighter jet was false, and the detained individual was later released. [87] [88] [89]

Elsewhere, the Pakistan Air Force carried out airstrikes in parts of Khost, [90] Kandahar provinces, [91] and Kabul.

The ministry did not provide figures for casualties among Taliban forces. [103] The ministry also said it had carried out airstrikes on Pakistan's military sites in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Balochistan, without specifying the type of aircraft or aerial equipment used. Pakistan's Ministry of Information and Broadcasting rejected the claim and described it as false, stating that no evidence such as satellite imagery, flight data, ground footage, or eyewitness accounts had been provided to substantiate it.

Censorship

During the conflict, the Taliban's intelligence agency (General Directorate of Intelligence) ordered Afghan domestic media outlets not to cover areas targeted in recent Pakistani airstrikes. In some cases, intelligence personnel monitored media offices and newsroom operations to enforce the directive, and media outlets were warned against defying the order. [142] Taliban intelligence officials also warned residents against publishing images or details of locations in Afghanistan targeted by Pakistani strikes. [143] Afghan local sources stated that the Taliban were restricting access to information about their own casualties, as well as those among civilians.
