In the past 24 hours, Pakistan’s military has intensified its cross-border aggression by firing 124 rockets into various districts of Afghanistan’s eastern Kunar province, according to local Afghanistan authorities.
kabul 24: Officials from the Kunar Directorate of Information and Culture reported that the attacks were scattered across border-adjacent areas but caused no direct casualties. Despite the lack of injuries or deaths, the relentless shelling has forced large numbers of civilians to flee their homes in fear for their safety.Zia-ur-Rehman Spinghar, head of information at the directorate, stated: “Pakistan’s military regime once again launched 124 rocket attacks on districts near the so-called Durand Line in Kunar.
Fortunately, no one was harmed in these assaults. However, many of our fellow citizens have been compelled to abandon their homes due to the ongoing threat.”Local authorities detailed the distribution of the rocket fire as follows:10 rockets targeted Shultan district,
24 struck Sirkanay (Sarkano),
58 hit Nari,
24 landed in Manawara (Munawwarah),
and 8 reached the provincial center, Asadabad.
Affected families described the strikes as indiscriminate, claiming that civilian homes, mosques, schools, and villages have been directly hit or endangered.
This has severely disrupted daily life, leaving livestock behind and forcing mass displacement to safer regions.One displaced resident, Zarin Khan, said: “We are facing enormous difficulties. Schools, mosques, and our villages have been targeted, and our animals remain in the villages. We had no choice but to leave to protect our lives.”Another displaced person appealed to the international community: “The world must ask why Pakistan is bombing us.
This is the injustice being inflicted by Pakistan’s military regime on our people.”According to the Kunar Directorate of Refugees and Repatriates, nearly 7,500 families from districts close to the border have been uprooted by these repeated rocket attacks and have relocated to more secure areas within the province.
The shelling forms part of an escalating border conflict that began in late February 2026, marked by mutual airstrikes, artillery exchanges, and retaliatory operations.
Reports from various sources indicate thousands more have been displaced across eastern Afghanistan due to similar incidents, exacerbating the humanitarian crisis along the Durand Line.
Afghanistan officials have condemned the attacks as violations of sovereignty and aggression against civilians, while the broader clashes continue to draw international concern over regional stability and civilian suffering.
