Oman Air Force C-130J flights, identified as MJN283, MNJ282, and MJN281, have been operating between Al Musannah Airbase and Kabul starting October 15th, 2025, according to a report from @PakDefTeam on X. These flights have sparked speculation about potential diplomatic negotiations for a truce between Kabul and Islamabad taking place in Oman, or that India may be using Oman to supply weapons to Afghanistan. The report also notes Oman's military ties with India, including a radar post facing Gwadar and Gulf of Oman, and Indian Navy ship docking access at the Duqm Commercial Port. Separately, claims that eight club-level cricket players were martyred and four injured in Pakistani military bombings in Afghanistan's Paktika province, specifically in Argun district, have been disputed as propaganda. An investigation cited by @AhmadSharifzad on X found no cricket clubs near the targeted area, contradicting earlier reports from TOLOnews which cited the Afghanistan Cricket Board. The previous reporting window on October 18th, 2025, covered mass civilian evacuations from Spin Boldak due to heavy activity by Afghan Khawarij forces. This followed earlier reports on October 17th, 2025, of Afghan forces claiming to have killed Pakistani Major Yaseen Cheema and three soldiers. Afghan missile launches targeting Pakistan, with visuals of an attack on the Grand Hyatt Hotel in Islamabad, also occurred during that period, following Pakistani airstrikes in Paktika province that reportedly killed eight club-level cricket players.
