Is Pakistan really going to launch military operations inside Afghanistan? Some security analysts believe that Islamabad is under tremendous pressure from its ‘iron brother’ Beijing to take tangible actions against terrorism in view of repeated attacks on Chinese nationals engaged in CPEC projects
A war of words is brewing between Pakistan and the Afghan Taliban government following Islamabad’s indication that it will not hesitate to launch military operations against the banned Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) and other terrorist groups operating from the latter’s soil.
There has been an uptick in the incidents of terrorism in Pakistan since the Taliban took over the government in Kabul in 2021, dashing hopes in Islamabad that a friendly government in Afghanistan would help to tackle militancy.
