Apart from Kabul, today Pakistan also attacked residential areas in Khost and Kandahar of Afghanistan, in which 12 civilians died and more than 100 civilians were injured.

Pakistan’s old habit of targeting common people
In the ongoing conflict between Pakistan and Afghanistan, where in the first phase of the conflict on Saturday (October 11, 2025), Pakistan had targeted the homes and markets of common people, today on Wednesday (October 15) Pakistan did something similar, whereas on the contrary, the Afghan Army has targeted only the Pakistani Army in the conflict.
However, this is not the first time that Pakistan is targeting human settlements in a conflict. Pakistan had also done similar actions during Operation Sindoor, when India attacked its airbases, in response the Pakistani Army targeted Indian residential areas. In the last 50 days, Pakistani Army and other security agencies have killed more than 329 people in their own country.
