Pakistani security forces carried out a ground operation along the Pakistan-Afghanistan border on Sunday, followed by strikes on militant hideouts, killing 29 fighters, according to officials.

Pakistani security forces carried out a ground operation along the Pakistan-Afghanistan border on Sunday, followed by strikes on militant hideouts, killing 29 fighters, according to officials.

The operation reportedly targeted hideouts in Afghanistan's Paktia, Paktika and Kunar provinces, destroying three sites and killing 25 militants, while weapons and ammunition caches were also destroyed.

The strikes came a day after militants attacked the paramilitary Rangers headquarters in Karachi, killing three soldiers. Jamaat-ul-Ahrar, a breakaway faction of the Pakistani Taliban, claimed responsibility.

The Sunday operation came less than three weeks after Pakistan launched earlier airstrikes on militant positions in Afghanistan, ending roughly a month of relative calm following months of cross-border exchanges.

Afghanistan's ambassador to Islamabad said Kabul favors resolving disputes through dialogue, while China hosted both sides in April in an effort to prevent further escalation, though no lasting ceasefire has been reached.

Pakistan's strikes on Afghanistan are a strategic blunder that the country simply cannot afford. With debt-to-GDP at 74.5% and interest payments consuming nearly 8% of GDP, escalation drives up risk premiums and forces brutal austerity on an already strained public. Afghanistan has outlasted empires by enduring, not winning outright, and Islamabad's fiscal and internal constraints make a prolonged confrontation self-defeating.

Pakistan's military response to cross-border terrorism is a necessary act of self-defense against a Taliban regime that actively shelters TTP and IMP militants launching attacks on Pakistani civilians and security forces. The Afghan Taliban are fragmented, ideologically rigid and completely unwilling to honor UN resolutions demanding denial of sanctuary to terror networks. Kinetic pressure, paired with diplomacy and regional coordination, is the only realistic path to dismantling these threats.

Pakistan's assault on Afghanistan is morally indefensible and economically ruinous. With debt at 74.5% of GDP and interest payments devouring nearly 8% more, Islamabad is picking a fight that, history warns, no one wins. Afghanistan has outlasted empires through sheer endurance. This violence resolves nothing: both nations trade accusations over TTP and ISIS-K sanctuaries. What is demanded now is serious diplomacy — a monitored, binding agreement of mutual non-interference. Pakistan's current path is a failure. The time for negotiations is long overdue.
