Massive explosions occurred in Jalalabad, Nangarhar, Afghanistan, between 9:39 PM and 12:36 AM UTC on October 10th-11th, 2025, with the precise source remaining unconfirmed. Social media reports from the period suggest several potential origins for the blasts, including Pakistani jets or drones, Pakistani artillery fire amidst border clashes with Taliban forces, or internal conflicts involving the Islamic State Khorasan Province (ISKP), other anti-Taliban groups, or intra-Taliban factions, according to an analysis posted to X by user @Natsecjeff. These developments follow unconfirmed reports of militant activity in Afghanistan and Pakistan during the preceding hours, which were hampered by an internet and social media blackout in Afghanistan and a lack of official statements. Previous unverified social media posts had indicated possible events in Jalalabad and Nangarhar, Afghanistan, and a militant attack on a police training center in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan, on October 10th.
