India strongly condemns Pakistan's air strikes in Afghanistan

India has strongly condemned Pakistan's air strikes in Afghanistan. Ministry of External Affairs spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal made the remarks on Friday, February 27, stating that India strongly condemns Pakistan's air strikes on Afghan territory.

In a post on X, he wrote that many civilians, including women and children, have been killed in the air strikes carried out by Pakistan during the holy month of Ramadan.

Reaffirming support for Afghanistan's territorial integrity, he said Pakistan imposes its internal failures on other countries. The air strikes on Afghanistan are another such attempt. India firmly supports the sovereignty, territorial integrity and independence of Afghanistan.

Earlier on Thursday night, Afghan forces launched surprise attacks on Pakistani soldiers at various locations in Pakistan's Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province. In response, Pakistan carried out air strikes in various parts of Afghanistan, including the capital Kabul. The strikes continued on Friday.

According to Al Jazeera, Pakistan's military has claimed that 228 Taliban fighters have been killed so far in the 'Ghazab lil-Haq' operation in Afghanistan. A Pakistan army spokesperson shared the information on Friday.
