“If the opposite side again violates Afghan airspace, our armed forces are ready to defend their airspace and provide a strong response,” Khowazmi said.

This week, a Pakistani security officer told Reuters that the aerial section focused on the leader of the Pakistani militant Taliban group in Kabul and traveled in the vehicle. It wasn’t clear if he survived.
Islamabad warned Kabula that his patience was exhausted. Taliban’s Foreign Minister visited India this week, the first such visit to the Taliban official since the group took over control in 2021, and both nations agreed to strengthen their custody. This visit increased fears in Pakistan, where there was an increase in militant attacks because the Taliban took over power.
Growth
In recent months, Militants Tehrik-I-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) escalated their attacks on Pakistan’s security forces, especially in mountain areas along the Afghanistani border.
Islamabad accused the Afghan Taliban government of not excluding militants who use Afghan ground to distribute cross -border attacks, Kabul denies the claim.
TTP and its allied groups are responsible for most of this violence, which is focused primarily on security staff. At the beginning of this year, the UN report stated that TTP will “receive considerable logistical and operational support from the de facto authorities” referring to the administration led by the Taliban in Kabul.
