Pak Declares "Open War", Bombs Kabul After Afghan Attack, Claims 133 Killed

In a significant escalation of tensions, Pakistan has officially declared an 'open war' against the Afghan Taliban government after a deadly attack attributed to Taliban militants, which reportedly resulted in the deaths of 133 people in Pakistan. The announcement follows a series of intense clashes along the porous border that both nations share. Islamabad's government has expressed its determination to retaliate against the Taliban for what it perceives as increasing aggression and incursions into its territory. This marks a troubling turn in the already strained relations between the two neighboring countries, which have a long history of conflict and mutual distrust. Analysts suggest that this military stance could lead to further destabilization in the region, potentially drawing in international attention and intervention. As both nations grapple with the implications of this declaration, the humanitarian and security consequences for civilians living along the border remain a significant concern.
