MEA spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said that it has become Pakistan’s nature to blame India for its misdeeds. 

The retaliatory strike was confirmed by Afghan Taliban spokesperson Zabiullah Mujahid. Afghanistani fighters are not targeting Pakistan’s military circles and checkposts, in which several Pakistani soldiers were killed and dozens were injured.

The Taliban has released a ‘Greater Afghanistan’ map showing several Pakistani regions within Afghan borders, escalating long-standing border tensions and triggering outrage in Islamabad.

Afghanistan had also issued a stern warning to Pakistan on Tuesday, vowing a strong response to any future military strikes after talks in Islamabad had collapsed following Islamabad's withdrawal.

Confessions once buried in diplomatic shadows surface in Turkey, reshaping how Afghanistan reads the skies above Kabul.

The revelation follows Pakistan’s signing of a Strategic Mutual Defence Agreement with Saudi Arabia in September, and comes amid its deepening cooperation with the United States.

The remarks came as the second round of discussions between the two countries commenced in Istanbul, Turkey. The talks aim to address security concerns and establish a lasting ceasefire along the shared border following two weeks of intense clashes that left dozens dead, including civilians.

Clashes between Afghanistan and Pakistan started after Pakistan conducted airstrikes in Kabul on October 9, 2025, targeting the Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) leader following TTP attacks on Pakistani soldiers.

As Delhi and Kabul are facing a new tectonic shift in their bilateral relations after the takeover of the Taliban in 2021, both nations have enhanced their diplomatic relations, and his visit to New Delhi at a time when Kabul and Islamabad are facing a rough time is being seen as a major development.

Taliban’s acting Foreign Minister Amir Khan Muttaqi was scheduled to visit India this month. The trip was cancelled after the United Nations Security Council withheld clearance, raising questions over why an Afghan minister requires such approval.
