Pakistan launched attacks at several locations in Afghanistan on Thursday night. In response, Afghan forces opened fire on the Pakistani border, putting the Pakistani army in a difficult position.

Islamabad: The border conflict between Pakistan and Afghanistan has stopped for now, but things don't appear to be moving towards peace. In a strong statement on Sunday, Pakistan threatened a direct attack inside Afghanistan. Pakistan said that if any terrorist group sheltered in Kabul attacks its territory, it will launch attacks inside Afghanistan. This threat from Pakistan, which can be described as a panic, comes after losing more than 50 soldiers to Afghan forces and being forced to flee from several checkpoints.

According to the Express Tribune report, Pakistan has stated that its future actions will not be limited to border areas. This suggests that a major conflict between the two countries could occur in the future, as Pakistan blames the TTP for attacks on its soil. Pakistan says that these groups are operating from Afghanistan. Therefore, any attack in Pakistan could lead to a conflict with Afghanistan.

Further action will be strict.

The Pakistani Army has said it retaliated to Saturday night's attack by the Afghan Taliban. The strikes specifically targeted outposts, training centers, and command centers of groups that operate on its soil. The army described the operations as a response to attacks on its border outposts.

The Pakistan Army claimed that its response this time was not harsh enough, but that it will not be the case in the future. The Pakistan Army stated that it will hold the Kabul administration responsible for terrorist activities originating from Afghan soil. Any such attacks in the future will be met with strong strikes inside Afghanistan.

We will not spare our enemies.

A senior Pakistani official told The Express Tribune, "The Afghan side made a big mistake by attacking on Saturday night. This is our traditional territory. The Taliban cannot fight us here. Kabul will pay the price for supporting the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP). Pakistan will now pursue its enemies anywhere in Afghanistan."

The Pakistani official stated that they would pursue their enemies from Kabul and Khost to Kandahar. This suggests that tensions could escalate in the near future. Meanwhile, regional experts are calling this a Pakistani threat. Afghan forces attacked on Saturday night and killed more than 50 Pakistani soldiers, a major blow to Islamabad.
