Afghanistan Files UN Security Council Complaint Over Pakistan Airstrikes

Afghanistan has lodged a complaint with the UN Security Council over Pakistan’s airstrikes, citing civilian casualties and violations of international law.

Naseer Ahmad Faiq, acting permanent representative of Afghanistan to the UN, said on Monday that Pakistan’s airstrikes have killed civilians, including women and children.

Faiq called for an immediate halt to the attacks, accountability, respect for Afghanistan’s territorial integrity, adherence to the UN Charter, and full compliance with international law.

The permanent mission of Afghanistan had earlier condemned airstrikes on Nangarhar and Paktika provinces, emphasizing the humanitarian impact.

Pakistan carried out airstrikes on the districts of Behsud and Khogyani in Nangarhar and Barmal and Urgun in Paktika, claiming to target militant hideouts.

Local sources in Nangarhar and Paktika confirm that at least 18 civilians, including women and children, were killed during Pakistan’s airstrikes.

Families in affected districts report widespread destruction of homes and communities, with many residents displaced and living in fear of further attacks.

Reports indicate that 18 members of a single family, including children and women, were killed in Behsud, while Pakistan claims around 70 militants were eliminated.

The Taliban condemned the strikes and warned of a “calculated response at the appropriate time,” signaling potential escalation in the region.

Afghanistan’s UN complaint highlights the urgent need for international oversight to prevent further civilian casualties and maintain regional stability.
