Pakistan says it carried out ground operation, strikes along Afghan border

The military did not say how the strikes were carried out.

ISLAMABAD (AP) — Pakistani security forces Sunday carried out an “intelligence-based” ground operation along the Pakistan-Afghanistan border, followed by “calibrated strikes” against militant hideouts and safe havens, killing 29 fighters, officials said.

The military did not say how the strikes were carried out, but Pakistan’s air force has been involved in the previous targeting of alleged militant hideouts inside Afghanistan.

In a post on X, Information Minister Attaullah Tarar said the operation was launched in response to multiple militant attacks across the country. There was no immediate response from Afghanistan.

It comes a day after militants armed with guns and explosives targeted the regional headquarters of the paramilitary Rangers in the southern port city of Karachi, killing three soldiers. Security forces killed three attackers and arrested another assailant, whom the military identified as an Afghan national in wounded condition.

Jamaat-ul-Ahrar, a breakaway faction of the Pakistani Taliban, claimed responsibility for the Karachi attack in a statement Saturday night.

Tarar said Pakistan’s latest operation along the Afghan border targeted the hideouts and safe havens of Jamaat-ul-Ahrar and Fitna al-Khwarij, a term Pakistan uses for the Pakistani Taliban.

Pakistan has witnessed a surge in militant attacks targeting police and security forces in recent years. Authorities have blamed the Pakistani Taliban, known as Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan, or TTP, and allied militant groups for most of the violence. The TTP is a separate militant group from the Afghan Taliban, although the two are allies. The Afghan Taliban returned to power in neighboring Afghanistan in 2021.

The latest operations are likely to further strain already tense relations between Islamabad and Kabul.

Sunday’s cross-border strikes and ground operation came less than three weeks after Pakistan’s military launched airstrikes on what it said were militant hideouts in Afghanistan. They ended about a month of relative calm following what Islamabad had described as an “open war” between the neighboring countries, despite international efforts to broker a lasting peace.

Afghanistan has said that the June 10 strikes hit the eastern provinces of Khost, Kunar and Paktika. Government spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid said 13 people were killed, including 11 children, one woman and an elderly man. Pakistan denied targeting civilian areas, saying its strikes were aimed at militant hideouts and infrastructure linked to recent attacks inside Pakistan and that 26 militants were killed.

The latest escalation follows months of tit-for-tat military action between the two countries. Hundreds of people have been killed in cross-border fighting since February, when Afghanistan launched retaliatory strikes after Pakistan carried out airstrikes inside Afghan territory.

Multiple rounds of internationally mediated peace talks have failed to secure a lasting ceasefire.

China also hosted the two sides in April and Beijing later said Pakistan and Afghanistan had agreed not to escalate their conflict and to explore a solution.

Tarar said Sunday the security forces first conducted an intelligence-based ground operation against a group of “terrorists” near the Pakistan-Afghanistan border in Bajaur, a district in northwestern Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province. “As a result of precise and skillful engagement, high value Khawarji Commander Khan Farosh” was killed along with three others.

He said that, acting on intelligence, precise targeting of terrorist camps and hideouts belonging to Jamaat-ul-Ahrar and Fitna al-Khwarij was also carried out in the border region along the Pakistan-Afghanistan frontier. Three targets in Afghanistan’s Paktia, Paktika and Kunar provinces were destroyed during the precision strikes, killing 25 terrorists, he said.

Tarar said large quantities of weapons and ammunition stored at the targeted militant compound and hideouts were also destroyed.

He sad “Pakistan has always strived for maintaining peace and stability in the region, but at the same time shall not compromise on the safety and security of our citizens, which remains our top priority”.

Pakistan since last year has carried out multiple strikes along the border and inside Afghanistan, targeting alleged hideouts of TTP and other militants. Pakistan accuses Afghanistan’s Afghan Taliban government of harboring militants who carry out deadly attacks inside Pakistan, especially the TTP. Kabul denies the charge.

Former UK Envoy Warns Excluding Women Carries Lasting Costs for Afghanistan

June 28, 2026
Khaama Press

Former British ambassador to Afghanistan Laurie Bristow warned excluding women from education and public life threatens Afghanistan’s long-term future.

Former British ambassador to Afghanistan Laurie Bristow said Britain should continue engaging with the Taliban to understand the group’s positions, while maintaining that London should not formally recognize the currect administration.

Bristow stated on saturday that dialogue with the Taliban does not amount to endorsing its policies, warning that the exclusion of women and girls from education would have profound consequences for Afghanistan’s future.

Bristow said Britain has previously engaged with governments and non-state actors whose policies it opposed, arguing that communication remains necessary even amid fundamental disagreements.

“We do not agree with what the Taliban are doing, particularly against women and girls, and we must continue to explain the consequences of those actions,” he said.

He also warned that preventing women and girls from accessing education effectively deprives Afghanistan of half of its future workforce, undermining the country’s long-term economic and social development.

Bristow said the Taliban could not successfully govern Afghanistan while excluding half of society, adding that international engagement should continue to press the group to lift restrictions on women and girls and expand their participation in public life.

No country has formally recognized the Taliban government since the group returned to power in August 2021. Most Western governments have maintained limited diplomatic contacts focused on humanitarian assistance, counterterrorism and consular issues while linking broader engagement to improvements in human rights, particularly women’s rights.

Since regaining control of Afghanistan, the Taliban have imposed sweeping restrictions on women and girls, including banning secondary and university education for females and limiting women’s participation in employment and public life. The United Nations has repeatedly described the measures as unprecedented and warned they are worsening Afghanistan’s humanitarian and economic crisis.

Taliban Officials to Head to Brussels for Talks on Afghan Deportees

June 22, 2026

Jeanna Smialek reported from Brussels, and Elian Peltier from Kabul, Afghanistan.

The New York Times

June 22, 2026

Taliban officials were issued visas to travel to Brussels, according to Belgium’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, as they prepared for discussions with European Union officials about the deportation of Afghans from countries within the bloc.

Several nations, including Sweden, had urged that the meeting take place. It was coordinated by the European Commission, the executive arm of the European Union, but had been a point of diplomatic sensitivity and criticism.

Laurens Soenen, a spokesman for the Belgian foreign ministry, said that five visas had been issued for the Taliban delegation late on Monday afternoon. The visas are valid for a single day in Belgium, he said. Mr. Soenen would not confirm what date the delegation was expected to arrive, citing “reasons of security and public order.”

An Afghan government official said a delegation of five would travel to Brussels on Tuesday for a one-day trip aimed at discussing consular services for Afghan citizens in the European Union, including the return of some to Afghanistan. The official spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss the negotiations.

A diplomat based in Kabul who is not part of the Taliban government but who was briefed on the visit confirmed that it was scheduled for Tuesday.

European countries are among many that welcomed Afghans fleeing the Taliban takeover in 2021 and that are now seeking to send them back. Last year alone, Iran and Pakistan forcibly returned nearly three million Afghans. The Trump administration has sought to deport Afghans to third countries, including the Democratic Republic of Congo and the Central African Republic, and Britain is also considering sending back Afghans who were denied asylum.

The United Nations this year described Afghanistan as a “graveyard for human rights.”

The European Commission has repeatedly declined to specify when the meeting with Afghan government officials might happen. Its officials have called the visit a “technical” get-together, and have reiterated that European Union member states had asked for the meeting.

No E.U. member state recognizes the Taliban administration as Afghanistan’s legitimate authority, and E.U. officials have for weeks sought to downplay the significance of the Taliban visit.

“We’re not talking about a political visit,” Gilles Bertrand, the bloc’s special envoy for Afghanistan, said in an interview this month with Amu TV, an Afghan news outlet. “This is not changing the E.U.’s policy of not recognizing the de facto authorities.”

Member states “are looking into ways to return persons who have committed serious crimes and who are possibly a security threat,” Markus Lammert, a spokesman for the European Commission, said at a news conference on Monday.

“What the commission can do is to help coordinate and facilitate contacts at a technical level,” Mr. Lammert added. “This is what we’re doing.”

Nearly five years after they swept back into power in Afghanistan, the Taliban have remained pariahs in international institutions, with no representation at the United Nations and other forums.

Only Russia recognizes the group as Afghanistan’s legitimate authority. China has maintained diplomatic ties with the Taliban administration but has grown increasingly frustrated with insecurity in the country, according to diplomats and security officials based in Afghanistan.

The European Commission has faced criticism over the meeting from more than 60 human rights organizations, including Human Rights Watch, which denounced in a statement what it called the bloc’s double game of “condemning Taliban abuses and pursuing accountability on one hand, while cooperating with the Taliban to forcibly return Afghans on the other.”

The decision to engage with the officials on deportations “overlooks the very real and well-documented risks that anyone returned to the country would face and their reasons for fleeing in the first place,” Amnesty International also said in a recent statement.

It argued that the move “flies in the face” of the 27-nation bloc’s human rights standards.

The Taliban have imposed some of the world’s harshest restrictions on women and girls, preventing them from enrolling in secondary education and getting access to most jobs.

Human rights groups say the rules — which also include mandates to wear full coverings, bans on visiting parks and prohibitions on traveling long distances without a male guardian — amount to the total erasure of women from public spaces, a condition they describe as “gender apartheid.”

Aid Workers Given One Month to Comply With Beard Rules at Islam Qala Border Center

June 22, 2026
Khaama Press

 

Humanitarian aid workers at the Islam Qala reception center in Herat have been given one month to comply with newly imposed beard regulations or risk losing access to the facility.

Taliban authorities at the Islam Qala reception center in Herat have given humanitarian aid workers one month to bring their beards into compliance with the administration’s requirements.

According to information released on Monday, the directive was discussed during a meeting between officials from the Taliban’s Department of Refugees and Repatriation and representatives of humanitarian organizations. The order applies to male staff members as well as male guardians accompanying female employees.

Sources said workers who fail to meet the requirements after the one-month deadline could be barred from entering the reception center.

The measure follows a rise in the detention of aid workers by Taliban morality police for shaving or trimming their beards. Taliban officials reportedly told aid agencies that the new rule is intended to prevent further confrontations and arrests.

The move comes amid a broader tightening of social restrictions in Herat. In recent months, authorities have increased enforcement of dress and behavior rules, with reports of women and girls being detained over alleged violations of prescribed clothing requirements.

Herat serves as the main gateway for thousands of Afghan returnees arriving from Iran each week. Numerous humanitarian organizations operate at Islam Qala, providing registration, transportation and emergency assistance to returning families.

Aid agencies have repeatedly warned that expanding restrictions on humanitarian workers could disrupt relief operations and hinder assistance to vulnerable Afghans arriving through one of the country’s busiest border crossings.

UNICEF Warns Climate Change Increasing Child Malnutrition Risks in Afghanistan

June 22, 2026
Khaama Press

The United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) has warned that worsening climate-related shocks in Afghanistan are making living conditions increasingly difficult for children and heightening the risk of malnutrition across the country.

UNICEF said prolonged droughts, water shortages, extreme heat and severe weather events are reducing families’ ability to secure adequate food and clean water, placing additional pressure on vulnerable communities. The agency also warned that limited healthcare access and insufficient vaccination coverage are increasing the risks of disease and nutrition-related illnesses among children.

The warning comes as humanitarian agencies continue to report growing climate-related challenges across Afghanistan. Years of recurring drought, destructive floods and rising temperatures have damaged livelihoods, reduced agricultural production and weakened food security for millions of people.

The UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) recently estimated that around 16 million people across Afghanistan could require access to safe drinking water and sanitation services in 2026. OCHA has warned that worsening water scarcity is increasing health risks, particularly for children and other vulnerable groups.

International aid organizations have repeatedly identified Afghanistan as one of the countries most vulnerable to climate change despite contributing minimally to global greenhouse gas emissions. Environmental shocks have compounded the effects of poverty, economic hardship and humanitarian needs throughout the country.

Humanitarian agencies say children are among the hardest hit by the crisis, facing increased risks of malnutrition, waterborne diseases and disrupted access to education and healthcare. UNICEF called for greater investment in climate resilience, health services and nutrition programs to protect vulnerable families and reduce the long-term impact of climate-related emergencies on Afghanistan’s children.

Iran Yet to Recognize Islamic Emirate Despite Earlier Signals

Alireza Bikdeli had insisted that there was no obstacle to Iran’s recognition of the Islamic Emirate and that Tehran would soon announce this legal decision.

Four months ago, the acting ambassador of Iran in Kabul spoke with TOLOnews about Tehran’s position on recognizing the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan.

Alireza Bikdeli had insisted that there was no obstacle to Iran’s recognition of the Islamic Emirate and that Tehran would soon announce this legal decision.

Speaking on February 10, 2026, Alireza Bikdeli, the acting ambassador of Iran in Kabul, said: “At the appropriate time, we will make this legal decision and, in order to strengthen our relations, we will take our own initiative regarding recognition—an initiative that all of you will appreciate.”

However, despite the passage of time since those remarks, Iran has yet to formally recognize the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan.

Janat Fahim Chakari, a university professor, said: “Iran pursues a dual-track policy toward Afghanistan. During the Republic era, we saw that it maintained relations with both the Islamic Emirate and the government of the time. Even now, despite its good relations with the Islamic Emirate, it also maintains ties with opponents of the Islamic Emirate.”

Iran has repeatedly emphasized that it seeks to expand its multifaceted relations with Afghanistan and is working to further strengthen political, economic, and diplomatic ties between the two countries.

Nevertheless, issues such as water rights, security concerns, and the deportation of Afghan migrants have remained among the key factors affecting relations between the Islamic Emirate and Iran.

Afghanistan in crisis: Drought, malnutrition and a worsening humanitarian situation

June 22, 2026
By Nancy Sarkis in Geneva
UN News

Imagine being one of a family of nine and sitting down to a meal of potato peelings and other scraps, boiled up into a soup. This is the harsh reality for many of Afghanistan’s most vulnerable families, forced on them by climate change and drought, widespread malnutrition and increasing restrictions on women, since the Taliban overran Kabul in 2021.

Aid agencies are doing what they can to help, including by identifying dangerously malnourished children in sparsely populated “ghost villages” where those who can leave do so, said Olga Cherevko from the UN aid coordination office, OCHA.

But with nearly 22 million people in need across Afghanistan and the UN’s $1.7 billion appeal only 14 per cent funded, life is “becoming impossible” in remote areas, the agency warns.

Survival strategy

Water scarcity is the main cause of strife for villagers in Bamyan province who struggle, far from Afghanistan’s major cities.

“This particular village that I went to, they told me that around half of the population had left, actually, because there’s simply no water to irrigate the lands, and so all the crops that they were growing, they dried up,” Ms. Cherevko told UN News. “People who could leave, they left.”

Those who have remained often do so because they have no choice; they cannot afford to leave.

Ms. Cherevko shared a striking example: “One of the men that I met had nine family members. He showed me what they were having for lunch.  It was essentially a bowl of what looked like rotten potato peelings, cooked into a soup just to survive.”

3.7 million children facing acute malnutrition in 2026

Today, an estimated 3.7 million children in Afghanistan suffer from acute malnutrition. Many cases go unrecognized and in some UN-supported clinics “children die because parents simply didn’t know what was happening; by the time they brought the child in, it was already too late”, Ms. Cherevko explained.

The UN is addressing this critical issue by providing screening and medical support, but also by visiting remote communities and raising awareness.

Forced returnees’ plight

Agencies also provide basic assistance and registration every day to thousands of people who are often forcibly returned to the country by its neighbours.

According to the UN refugee agency, UNHCR, around 8,000 people returned to Afghanistan in the week to 20 June 2026.

Most of these returnees have never lived in Afghanistan and did not choose to return. Their biggest concern is survival in a land of few opportunities.

“Once the buses drop them in towns, many have nowhere to go,” Ms. Cherevko explained. Some attempt to return to the countries they came from, only to be deported again. Despite this, many continue trying to leave Afghanistan, driven by desperation and a lack of alternatives.

Alarming situation for women and girls 

With Bamyan province fresh in her mind, Ms. Cherevko highlighted a recurring message from the Afghan women she visited: when opportunities for women are limited, the entire household suffers. Restrictions on education for girls decreed by the Taliban are denying them future employment. “All the women I spoke to are deeply worried about their daughters, who can no longer attend school and may have no future,” the OCHA worker said.

These restrictions are affecting the work of the UN and essential services in turn.

A shortage of female professionals, particularly doctors, has become critical, for instance. Now, when a female doctor leaves her position, it is often nearly impossible to replace her. This has limited women’s and girls’ access to life-saving healthcare drastically, including maternal and neonatal care, as well as services for malnutrition and education.

From January to April 2026, aid partners reached 5.9 million people in Afghanistan with at least one form of assistance. Of this number, 3.5 million received food assistance, underscoring the scale of acute food insecurity and the many other needs of millions of people “who require repeated and complementary support throughout the year to ensure their needs are adequately met”, OCHA said.

EU, UK Pledge Continued Support for Afghan Returnees 0 Comments

Access to employment opportunities, education, and adequate housing remains among the key demands of returnees.

The two sides said they will continue, in cooperation with international organizations, to provide protection, humanitarian assistance, and support for rebuilding the lives of vulnerable Afghan families.

In a post on X, the European Union wrote: “On World Refugee Day, the EU reaffirms its commitment to refugees, returnees, IDPs and host communities. Together with UNHCR in Afghanistan and IOM in Afghanistan, we support protection, livelihoods and durable solutions, helping Afghans rebuild their lives with dignity.”

The UK Mission for Afghanistan also wrote on X: “humanitarian aid, including through IOM in Afghanistan, ensures that vulnerable families returning to Afghanistan receive the support they need to help rebuild their lives. No one should be left behind.”

Speaking to TOLOnews, Mohammad Khan Talibi Mohammadzai, a migration affairs activist, said: “Creating infrastructure and expanding cooperation to improve the situation of returning migrants can play an important role in addressing their challenges.”

Deported migrants often face difficulties upon returning to Afghanistan, including a lack of shelter, limited access to basic services, and unemployment, all of which contribute to harsh living conditions.

Access to employment opportunities, education, and adequate housing remains among the key demands of returnees.

Azizullah, a deportee from Pakistan, said: “We were deported from Pakistan and faced inappropriate treatment during the process. Now that we have returned home, we are struggling with many problems and challenges.”

Another migration affairs activist, Mohammad Jamal Muslim, added: “Afghan migrants in neighboring countries face numerous challenges, and many are being forcibly deported. It is necessary for responsible organizations and Afghan authorities to take immediate action to address the humanitarian situation and preserve the dignity of these migrants, especially during the summer season when their difficulties have intensified.”

These remarks come as the return of Afghan migrants from neighboring countries and other parts of the world has increased in recent years, while the need for humanitarian assistance and support remains significant.
