Renewed hostilities broke out between Pakistan and Afghanistan in late February 2026. Afghan forces attacked Pakistani military positions, leading Pakistan to launch retaliatory air strikes deep inside Afghan territory. Islamabad declared a state of "open war," citing ongoing security threats from militant groups based in Afghanistan. Kabul rejected the accusations and condemned the air raids as unlawful. International calls for an immediate ceasefire and dialogue have intensified.
