The Taliban alleges that Pakistan is responsible for the death of 50 refugees who were trying to escape airstrikes in Afghanistan.

On a quiet Christmas Day in Afghanistan, armed Taliban security personnel could be seen screening civilians at a checkpoint. The war-torn country was still facing the aftermath of a recent Pakistani military airstrike, which had resulted in the deaths of up to 50 refugees. According to the Taliban, majority of the casualties were women and children. These innocent refugees had fled from the north-western region of Pakistan to seek safety in eastern Afghanistan, only to face a tragic end.

Officials from Afghanistan reported that the refugees, who were labeled as "unarmed" by the Taliban, had been killed in the eastern part of the country. The death toll was estimated to be 46, with 27 of the victims being women and children. However, the Pakistani Taliban, a separate but allied group, claimed that the death toll was 50, with 27 of them being women and children. To support their claim, they shared photos of children who were allegedly killed in the Pakistani military's offensive.

According to Pakistani security officials, the airstrike was a part of their operation to neutralize militants who had been launching attacks in Pakistan. They stated that their soldiers were targeting a training facility in the Afghan province of Paktika. However, tensions between the Pakistani and Afghan governments were already high, and this airstrike only added fuel to the fire.

In response to the strikes, the Afghan government filed a strong protest and summoned Pakistani diplomats to Kabul. The Afghan Taliban, on the other hand, threatened to retaliate against what they perceived as a violation of their country's territory. While Pakistan did not specifically address the accusations of killing civilians, they did claim that their soldiers had killed 13 insurgents along the border of Paktika.

The situation between Pakistan and Afghanistan remains tense, with both sides pointing fingers at each other. As the search for peace and stability continues, innocent civilians continue to suffer the consequences of war and violence.
