Sarah Jones: Can you shed some light on what triggered this latest escalation?
Dr. Amina Khan: The recent airstrike, which reportedly targeted a village near the border and resulted in the deaths of civilians, including women and children, is the immediate catalyst. However,underlying this incident are long-standing tensions between Pakistan and Afghanistan that have been exacerbated by the Taliban’s takeover in 2021.

Dr.Amina Khan: Several factors are at play. There’s a history of mistrust and border disputes between the two countries. Pakistan is concerned about the resurgence of militant groups like Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), which operate from Afghan soil and pose a threat to its internal security. The Taliban’s promise of retaliation after the airstrike further escalates the situation.
