Pakistani jets conducted two airstrikes in Afghanistan's Spin Boldak district of Kandahar province just moments ago, October 12th, 2025, around 7:50 AM UTC. The area targeted is reportedly linked to a Baloch Liberation Army (BLA) camp. This development occurs as Afghanistan's Taliban government spokesperson, Zabihullah Mujahid, stated this morning that over 20 soldiers died in a conflict concluding last night, accusing Pakistan of harboring ISIS elements and planning future attacks. Mujahid asserted this morning that "terror centers in Pakistan's KPK" are responsible for recent incidents and that Pakistan is attempting to "export insecurity to other countries." He further alleged that Pakistan has "turned a blind eye to the presence of ISIS on its soil." These statements follow reports from earlier this morning detailing Pakistani troops planting their flag on a Taliban border post on Afghan territory, after Pakistan claimed to have captured several Taliban posts overnight. The Taliban group has moved heavy weapons to important points along the Durand Line, according to social media reports from the past 29 minutes, indicating a continued escalation. A large explosion was also reported in Spin Boldak, Kandahar, Afghanistan, within the reporting window. Previous reports from yesterday and early this morning detailed a conflict that concluded last night, reportedly facilitated by mediation from Qatar and Saudi Arabia. Afghan forces had claimed to have killed 15 Pakistani soldiers and captured three outposts in Helmand province's Bahrampur district last night, seizing weapons and ammunition. Pakistan had previously reported seizing 19 Afghan posts. Videos circulating on social media reportedly showed Pakistani soldiers capturing US-made Humvee vehicles from Afghan Taliban border posts, which were subsequently burned.
