Pakistan says it hit militant hideouts in Afghanistan’s Kandahar as fighting shows no letup
16 Mar 2026 ~~ By Munir Ahmed and Abdul Qahar AfghanISLAMABAD, Pakistan (AP) — Pakistan said Sunday it targeted militant hideouts in Afghanistan’s Kandahar region overnight, as the fighting that erupted between the two neighbors late last month showed no signs of abating.
The cross-border fighting, which has included Pakistani airstrikes in the Afghan capital, Kabul, is the deadliest yet between the two South Asian nations. Islamabad has referred to the conflict as an “open war,” adding to concerns about regional stability as the U.S.-Israeli war with Iran engulfs the Middle East and beyond.

Afghan government spokesman Zabiullah Mujahid said Pakistan had hit two locations: a site used by security guards during the day that was empty at night, and a drug rehabilitation center that suffered slight damage. He said there were no casualties, but that the strikes showed that Pakistan was “continuing to invade and fuel the fire of war.”

On Sunday, a mortar fired from Afghanistan destroyed a home in Bajaur, a district in northwestern Pakistan, killing at last four members of the same family and wounding two others, local government official Adnan Khan said.
Both sides have accused the other of targeting civilians, and dozens have been killed.
Pakistan’s President Asif Ali Zardari on Saturday said Afghanistan’s government had “ crossed a red line ” by launching drone attacks on civilian areas in Pakistan, and hours later the country reportedly conducted strikes on an Afghan drone storage facility.
Commentary:
While all eyes are turned toward Operation Epic Fury, Pakistan is fighting the Taliban.
Meanwhile, since the fall of Afghanistan in August 2021, the U.S. has provided about $2.6 billion in humanitarian aid to Afghanistan.
It's a wonder that Democrats aren't blasting Pakistan for their illegal war of choice?
Seems that Muslims killing muslums is their default setting if there are no Kaffirs or Jews to kill. The Sunni/Shia split happened fairly early in their history, and they haven’t stopped killing each other since.
