Pakistan conducted air strikes on locations in Afghanistan in response to drone incursions.
Pakistan carried out air strikes on 10 locations in Afghanistan's Khost province on September 24, 2026, targeting sites it said were used to store and launch drones involved in cross-border attacks. Afghan officials reported no casualties. The strikes followed a drone incursion into Pakistani territory on September 23 and mark an escalation in tensions between the two countries.
