Taliban Forces Strike Alleged ISIS Targets in Pakistan's Balochistan Province

Afghanistan's Taliban forces have carried out strikes inside Pakistan's Balochistan province, targeting sites they claim were Islamic State bases. The move comes days after Pakistan launched airstrikes in Afghanistan, which resulted in civilian casualties. India had condemned Pakistan's earlier strikes as a 'blatant act of aggression.' The back-and-forth military actions mark a sharp escalation in tensions between the two neighboring countries. Recent border clashes and aerial strikes in the region have collectively claimed dozens of lives.
