Afghanistan accuses Pakistan of airspace violations amid rising tensions.
Afghanistan’s Foreign Minister Amir Khan Muttaqi has accused Pakistan of repeated airspace violations, asserting that Kabul will defend its sovereignty if provoked. In a televised address, he criticized Islamabad for making “unrealistic and unreasonable” demands during recent negotiations, particularly those relating to Pakistan’s internal security. Tensions between the Taliban-led government and Pakistan have escalated amid allegations that Pakistan is harboring ISIS elements and proposing the relocation of Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) fighters into Afghanistan. This situation underscores the deteriorating relationship between Kabul and Islamabad, as Afghanistan seeks to assert its sovereignty in the face of perceived threats from its neighbor.
