The Afghan Taliban are amenable to negotiations following Pakistan’s airstrikes on Kabul and Kandahar.

The Taliban leadership in Afghanistan expressed a willingness to negotiate following Pakistan’s bombardment of its soldiers in key urban areas, resulting in the deaths of numerous personnel during the most severe confrontations between former friends turned adversaries.

Dense columns of black smoke ascended from two locations in Kabul, and a substantial fire was also observable in video authenticated by Reuters.The aircraft arrived, released two bombs, and subsequently departed. “Subsequently, we heard explosions,” stated Kabul cab driver Tamim, who was asleep when the attacks occurred. All individuals, in a state of terror, descended from the second floor of the residence. The munitions within the store continued to detonate spontaneously.

Pakistani security officials reported that the strikes consisted of air-to-ground missile assaults targeting Taliban military facilities and positions in retaliation for Afghan attacks on Thursday.

The Taliban asserted that Afghan soldiers employed drones to strike Pakistani military objectives. Pakistan announced that all drones had been neutralized and that there was no resultant damage.
