Italy Urges Citizens to Leave Afghanistan Amid Rising Violence
Italy’s Foreign Ministry on Tuesday urged its citizens to leave Afghanistan using available commercial flights, citing deteriorating security conditions across the country.
In its statement, the ministry advised Italians who choose to remain to register their presence and follow safety instructions issued by local authorities.
The warning comes amid rising tensions following recent Pakistani airstrikes, including a strike in Kabul that has heightened concerns about civilian safety.
The Taliban claim the Kabul strike hit a medical facility, killing hundreds and injuring many more, while Pakistan says it targeted nearby militant sites.
Security conditions in Afghanistan have worsened in recent weeks due to cross-border clashes between Pakistan and Taliban forces, including airstrikes and retaliatory attacks.
International organizations have warned of increasing civilian casualties, as ongoing hostilities continue to impact urban areas and critical infrastructure.
The Italian government reiterated its call to avoid non-essential travel and stressed vigilance, as the risk of further escalation remains high across Afghanistan.
