Kabul, the bustling capital city of Afghanistan, has been rocked by a series of explosions in the past 24 hours, as tensions between Pakistan and Afghan forces continue to escalate. The latest blast occurred at 10 a.m. on Saturday, near the interior ministry and Sheikh Zayed Hospital. This is the second explosion to hit Kabul in less than a day, with the first one taking place near the Indian Embassy in Shahri Naw area on Friday.
Fortunately, there have been no casualties reported so far. However, the motive behind these attacks remains unknown and there has been no official statement addressing the incidents. "We are all in a state of shock and confusion. We don't know what's happening or why," said Samiullah, a concerned resident of Kabul.
These explosions seem to be strategically targeted at sensitive locations, adding to the already tense atmosphere in the city. Just yesterday, another blast was heard near the Indian Embassy, resulting in the loss of at least 17 lives. The Afghan Taliban, who are believed to be behind the attack, have chosen to remain silent on the matter. However, reports suggest that the explosion was a deliberate attempt to harm the Indian Embassy.
According to local sources, this is not the first time that the Indian Embassy has been targeted. In fact, just a few days ago, an Afghan staff member of the Indian consulate in Jalalabad was attacked and injured. "It's becoming increasingly clear that these attacks are aimed at the Indian Embassy. This is a cause for concern and the authorities need to take immediate action," said a local source.
These explosions in Kabul are happening at a time when tensions between Pakistan and Afghanistan are at an all-time high. Earlier today, there were reports of heavy gunfire and clashes between the two countries on the Dande Pattan-Kurram border. "There have been injuries on both sides, but we are still waiting for confirmation on the casualties," said a local source from the Kurram district in Pakistan's Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province.
Meanwhile, in Bajaur district, four security personnel have been martyred and eleven others have been injured during an operation against militants. "The operation in Mulla Said Banda, Salarzai area of Bajaur district has resulted in the loss of four brave security personnel, including a major ranked officer. We have also surrounded the militants and the firefight is ongoing," revealed a security source.
As a result of these clashes and ongoing tensions, hundreds of families living in the village of Landoro Sadiqo in Afghanistan's Khost province have been forced to flee their homes in fear of further violence. The situation is becoming increasingly alarming and needs to be addressed immediately by the authorities.
During a recent cabinet meeting, Pakistan's Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif spoke about the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) and stated that it is a "red line" for the country. He urged the Taliban-led Afghan interim government to take decisive action against the group. "We cannot tolerate any more attacks from TTP, who operate from Afghanistan. The Afghan government must take concrete steps to prevent such attacks. If this continues, it will be unacceptable, and Pakistan will defend itself at all costs," he asserted.
The recent clashes between Pakistan and Afghanistan are also a result of Pakistan's recent airstrikes in Afghanistan, targeting TTP hideouts in Paktika province. These airstrikes have resulted in casualties, which have been confirmed by the Afghan Taliban, who have promised to retaliate. "Pakistan needs to understand that these violent measures are not the solution to any problem. The Islamic Emirate will not stand idly by and will respond with full force to protect its territory," stated Enayatullah Khowarazami, spokesperson of the Afghan Taliban's Defense Ministry.
In conclusion, the situation in Kabul is tense and volatile, with explosions and clashes becoming a regular occurrence. The authorities need to take immediate action to address the underlying issues and prevent further violence. The safety and security of innocent civilians should be the top priority for both Pakistan and Afghanistan, and peaceful resolution should be sought out instead of resorting to aggression.
