The Government of India has strongly condemned Pakistan’s air strikes on Afghan territory, calling them a blatant violation of Afghanistan’s sovereignty and a threat to regional peace and stability.
In an official statement, the Government of India said:
“India strongly condemns Pakistan’s air-strikes on Afghan territory that have resulted in several civilian casualties, including women and children. This blatant act of aggression by Pakistan is an assault on Afghanistan’s sovereignty and a direct threat to regional peace and stability.
It reflects Pakistan’s persistent pattern of reckless behaviour and its futile attempt to externalize internal failures through desperate acts of violence beyond its borders.
India conveys its condolences to Afghan families that have lost loved ones, prays for early recovery of those injured and reiterates its unwavering support for Afghanistan’s sovereignty and territorial integrity.”
Earlier, Afghanistan’s Foreign Ministry said in a post on X that the Pakistani air strikes killed 36 civilians and injured 163 others, with the victims including women and children. The ministry also rejected Pakistan’s allegations linking Afghanistan to recent militant attacks, accusing Islamabad of attempting to shift the blame for its internal security challenges onto Afghanistan.
