Tehran-IRAF- Zabihollah Mujahid, the spokesperson for the Taliban government, stated that the Pakistani military, in its latest airstrikes on Afghanistan, targeted the fuel storage facilities of the private airline Kam Air near Kandahar Airport.
He added that this company supplies fuel for civilian airlines as well as aircraft belonging to the United Nations.
Mujahid further said that previously, the fuel storage belonging to an Afghan businessman named Haji Khanzadeh had also been targeted by Pakistani fighter jets.
The senior Taliban spokesman also accused Pakistan of conducting airstrikes in various parts of Afghanistan, saying that as part of these attacks, the cities of Kabul and Kandahar, as well as the provinces of Paktia and Paktika, and certain other areas were bombed.
According to Mujahid, in some of these attacks, civilian homes were struck, resulting in the deaths of a number of women and children, while in other areas, empty fields were hit.
He warned that these assaults would provoke a counter‑response from Afghanistan, stating:
“Such cruel aggression, in the last ten days of the blessed month of Ramadan and on the eve of Eid, shows that they adhere to no human principle or moral values. The Islamic Emirate (Taliban government) strongly condemns this clear act of aggression and crime, and, God willing, this injustice will not go unanswered.”
Pakistani officials have not yet made any official statement about last night’s airstrikes in Afghanistan.
However, social‑media accounts linked to the Pakistani military have claimed that the strikes targeted several military facilities, including: The headquarters of a military brigade in the Pul‑e‑Charkhi area of Kabul, Kandahar Airport, and a military position in the Chamkani district of Paktia province.
Taliban’s Response
Meanwhile, the Taliban Ministry of Defense announced that, in retaliation for last night’s Pakistani air raids, the group’s air forces this morning targeted Pakistan’s strategic military centers and facilities in the Kohat region of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province.
The Taliban claimed that these attacks hit the Kohat military fortress, and within a two‑kilometer radius, struck the command center of the Durand Line clashes and the office of the fortress commander.
According to the Taliban, the fortress facilities, command center, warehouses, and troop stations were destroyed, causing heavy human and material losses to the Pakistani military.
