India Condemns Pakistani Airstrikes on Afghanistan Border Areas

India on Tuesday condemned Pakistan’s airstrikes on border areas of Afghanistan, attacks that Afghan officials say killed civilians.

India’s foreign ministry described the strikes as “an attack” against a sovereign neighbour and warned that such actions could threaten peace and security in the region.

The statement comes as the strikes on Afghan border areas have drawn widespread reactions and increased concerns over rising tensions in the region.

Afghanistan shares a long and tense border with Pakistan, and security incidents along the frontier have repeatedly heightened tensions between the two sides in recent years.
