A major conflict has erupted between Pakistan and Afghanistan, with Pakistan's Defense Minister, Khawaja Asif, announcing an 'open war' following the explosions in Kabul. Former Afghan President, Hamid Karzai, accused Pakistan of bombings on Afghan cities, calling for a change in Pakistani policy. Pakistani Prime Minister, Shehbaz Sharif, stated that the armed forces are ready to defend the country, warning that any aggression will be met with a response. The Pakistan Ministry of Information accused the Taliban of unprovoked attacks, and fighting is taking place along a vast mountainous border. UN Secretary-General, Antonio Guterres, called for de-escalation of the conflict and protection of civilians. India condemned Pakistan's airstrikes, supporting Afghanistan's sovereignty, and accused Pakistan of outsourcing its internal problems. Tensions are fueled by the increasingly close ties between India and the Taliban in Afghanistan.
