Pakistan's airstrikes in Afghanistan killed four civilians and damaged a fuel depot, escalating cross-border violence.

Afghan authorities reported that Pakistan conducted airstrikes on Kabul, Kandahar, Paktia, and Paktika provinces on March 12–13, 2026, killing at least four civilians, including women and children, and damaging a Kam Air fuel depot near Kandahar International Airport. The Taliban government condemned the strikes as violations of sovereignty and civilian safety, marking the third week of escalating cross-border violence. Pakistan has not officially responded, though it previously cited operations against militant groups based in Afghanistan. The conflict has disrupted a prior ceasefire and drawn international concern over regional stability.
