Islamabad– Pakistan’s military has intensified its warnings to Afghanistan, vowing retaliatory strikes if the Taliban fails to rein in militants along their shared border.
Al Jazeera reports that Islamabad claims 16 fighters were killed in North Waziristan overnight on March 23, accusing Afghan-based groups of orchestrating attacks. The escalation follows Pakistan’s envoy Mohammad Sadiq visit to Kabul, where talks yielded no breakthrough.
The Taliban have yet to respond, but tensions threaten to unravel fragile trade ties.
