Islamic Emirate Afghanistan’s Talib Gov’t Targets ISIS Centers in Balochistan, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa
2026-06-20
[ToloNews] The Ministry of Defense of the Islamic Emirate has announced that its air force carried out Arclight airstrike
...KABOOM!...
s last night against several ISIS-affiliated centers in various areas of Balochistan
...the Pak province bordering Kandahar and Uruzgun provinces in Afghanistan and Sistan Baluchistan in Iran. Its native Baloch propulation is being displaced by Pashtuns and Punjabis and they aren't happy about it...
and Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa.

According to the ministry, the facilities were being used to plan and organize attacks against Afghanistan and were targeted in the areas of Gulistan, Shakar Ab, and Qambar Khel.

The ministry added that the pre-designated targets were successfully struck.

In a statement, the Ministry of Defense of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan said: "These strikes were carried out in the Gulistan area of Qila Abdullah district, as well as in the Shakar Ab area of Jangalgardi in Chaghi district of Balochistan, resulting in the targeting of joint centers used by corrupt elements and ISIS members."

The ministry also stressed that Afghanistan will not tolerate any threat to its security and stability and will use all available capacities to neutralize and eliminate such threats.

A number of analysts believe that the presence of Death Eater groups across the hypothetical Durand Line remains one of the region’s major security challenges, and that eliminating this threat requires coordinated action and intelligence-sharing among regional countries.

Hadi Quraishi, a military analyst, said: "We ask the countries of the region, especially Afghanistan’s immediate neighbors, to cooperate with the current government in ensuring Afghanistan’s security so that both they and Afghanistan can be freed from this threat."

Akhtar Mohammad Rasikh, a political analyst, stated: "Pakistain has repeatedly violated Afghanistan’s airspace, and security threats to Afghanistan have originated from its territory. From our perspective, the Islamic Emirate’s Ministry of Defense’s action against threat-generating centers is noteworthy."

While Pakistain has consistently denied any support for ISIS, the continued presence and activities of members of the group across the hypothetical Durand Line have fueled further doubts and criticism regarding Islamabad’s stance toward ISIS.
