Terrorist organizations like the TTP pose a combined threat to regional peace and security, according to Pakistan. They frequently launch terror attacks on Pakistani security forces and civilians from Afghan territory. Islamabad does not want to escalate the conflict. Instead, it seeks a collaborative solution to a common problem. Above all, terrorist organizations should not be allowed to sabotage bilateral relations.
Kabul condemns the death of innocent women and children within Afghanistan's borders. The Pakistani attack constitutes a clear violation of Afghan sovereignty. Pakistan is said to have attacked a militant insurgency, yet there were no militants present, simply harmless refugees from Waziristan. If Pakistan continues to carry out illegal airstrikes within Afghanistan, Afghan security forces will strike back.
