The Pakistan Air Force is operating within Afghanistan's airspace on October 14th, 2025, at approximately 4:38 PM UTC, following fresh clashes between Pakistani forces and Taliban fighters along the border near Zazai Maidan in Paktia province. Pakistan has stated that any further aggression from the Afghan Taliban against Pakistani border posts will be met with "decisive strikes inside Afghanistan on Taliban military targets." These developments occurred over the past hour, with reports of clashes also along the Chaman-Kandahar border and in the Shourko sector of Kurram district. Unknown drones have also been sighted over Afghan cities during this period. The Pakistan Air Force's operation in Afghan airspace represents a significant escalation in the ongoing border tensions. In parallel, Brazilian Vice President Geraldo Alckmin and Defense Minister José Múcio Monteiro Filho met with Indian Defense Minister Rajnath Singh in Delhi on October 14th, 2025, at approximately 3:07 PM UTC. The meeting focused on defense cooperation and bilateral relations between Brazil and India, according to earlier reports. This situation along the Afghanistan-Pakistan border follows earlier reports today regarding protests in Surat, India, where Congress women workers destroyed helmets to oppose a mandatory helmet law between 12:37 PM and 1:37 PM UTC.
