MoD: Afghan Forces Hit Key Pakistani Bases in Retaliatory Strikes Monday
[ToloNews] Following rising tensions between Kabul and Islamabad, the Ministry of Defense of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan has announced that it carried out attacks on several key military bases across the hypothetical Durand Line.

According to officials from the ministry, the action was taken in response to Mighty Pak Army Arclight airstrike
...KABOOM!...
s on Kabul and several other parts of the country.

The ministry said Afghanistan’s air force targeted military bases in Rawalpindi, Quetta in 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...
, Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa, and other facilities, inflicting "significant damage" on these centers.

Enayatullah Khwarazmi, spokesperson for the Ministry of Defense, said: "These attacks targeted the Noor Khan base in Rawalpindi, the 12th Corps in Quetta, Balochistan, the Khwizo camp in Mohmand Agency
... Named for the Mohmand clan of the Sarban Pahstuns, a truculent, quarrelsome lot. In Pakistain, the Mohmands infest their eponymous Agency, metastasizing as far as the plains of Peshawar, Charsadda, and Mardan. Mohmands are also scattered throughout Pakistan in urban areas including Karachi, Lahore, and Quetta. In Afghanistan they are mainly found in Nangarhar
The unfortunate Afghan province located adjacent to Mohmand, Kurram, and Khyber Agencies. The capital is Jalalabad. The province was the fief of Younus Khalis after the Soviets departed and one of his sons is the current provincial Taliban commander. Nangarhar is Haqqani country..
and Kunar...

in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa, and several other key Pak military headquarters and installations."

Afghan defense forces at 11:45 a.m. today (Afghanistan time) reportedly targeted and destroyed an armored tank belonging to Pak militias across from the Angoor Ada base in Paktika
...which coincidentally borders North Wazoo and Kurram Agency...
.

Meanwhile,
...back at the bunker, his Excellency called a hurried meeting of his closest advisors. It was to be his last. They discussed the officers's efficiency rating system...
the festivities have not been limited to airstrikes. The Ministry of Defense said that last night Islamic Emirate defense forces also carried out retaliatory attacks in the Angoor Ada area against forces of Pakistain’s military regime.

According to the ministry, as a result of these operations, Pak forces were forced to withdraw from some positions.

Qudratullah Badloon, a political analyst, said: "Pakistain’s military regime attacked Afghanistan in violation of international law and targeted civilians; however, Islamic Emirate forces responded by targeting only military positions."

Another political analyst, Shahzada Masoud, emphasized that "Pakistain has repeatedly violated Afghanistan’s airspace in contravention of principles of good neighborliness and international law."

This comes as, since the start of the retaliatory attacks by Islamic Emirate forces, more than 100 Pak military personnel have reportedly been killed, and more than 25 of their outposts have been captured by the Islamic Emirate. # id) ?>
