Afghanistan Peace CampaignKABUL (Pajhwok): The United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA) has announced that during the past Gregorian year, 613 Afghan civilians were killed or wounded as a result of attacks by the Pakistani army.
In a report released today (Sunday), UNAMA stated that in the past Gregorian year, 613 Afghan civilians were killed or injured due to attacks by the Pakistani army. This is the highest number of Afghan civilian casualties caused by Pakistan’s attacks since 2011.
The organization specified that in the last three months of 2025, a total of 70 civilians were killed and 478 others were wounded, and a large portion of these casualties resulted from Pakistan’s artillery, rocket, and air strikes.
UNAMA’s report mentions civilian casualties in the provinces of Paktia, Kunar, Helmand, Kandahar, Khost, Paktika, and Kabul.
The mission has called on all parties to respect international human rights law and to protect the lives of civilians.
Meanwhile, Hamdullah Fitrat, deputy spokesman of the Islamic Emirate, said: “Unfortunately, a large number of our civilian citizens have been martyred or wounded in such attacks. Over the past year, Pakistani forces have repeatedly and sporadically targeted residential areas along the so-called Durand Line.”
He added that among the victims were women, children, and even athletes.
According to reports, on the 6th of Mizan this year, as a result of an attack by Pakistan’s military regime, three cricket players named Kabir, Sibghatullah, and Haroon were killed, and seven others were wounded in Argon district of Paktika province.
Fitrat said: “After each of these incidents, media reports were published, and the section of the mentioned report related to civilian casualties largely corresponds with the existing realities. With deep regret, we confirm that dozens of innocent civilians, most of whom were women and children, were targeted by the Pakistani army.”
