On October 9, 2025, following an attack a day earlier in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province by the Tehreek-e Taliban Pakistan (TTP; sometimes called Pakistani Taliban) on Pakistani soldiers, Pakistan carried out an air strike in Kabul, the capital of Afghanistan, that targeted Noor Wali Mehsud, the leader of the TTP. Days later, Afghanistan carried out retaliatory operations that killed at least 23 Pakistani soldiers and left at least 9 Afghan soldiers dead, although both sides claimed to have inflicted higher casualties. Ground fighting continued sporadically in the days ahead and the skirmishes threatened to escalate into a broader conflict.
