October 10, 2025—In a brazen and unprecedented escalation of cross-border hostilities, Pakistan conducted precision airstrikes on suspected Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) camps in Kabul on the night of October 9, 2025, marking the first direct military action by Islamabad on Afghan soil targeting the group’s leadership in the capital city. The operation, involving at least three F-16 fighter jets armed with laser-guided munitions, struck a compound in the heavily guarded Wazir Akbar Khan neighborhood, a diplomatic enclave, resulting in at least 12 deaths and 25 injuries, according to Afghan health officials
