India Condemns Pakistani Airstrikes That Killed Afghan Civilians

The Indian government criticized Pakistan's actions in Afghanistan, calling them part of a pattern of blaming neighbors for internal issues.

India's Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) strongly condemned Pakistani airstrikes in Afghanistan that killed at least 51 civilians, including women and children, in December 2024.
The strikes targeted alleged hideouts of the banned Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) in Afghanistan's Paktika province, escalating tensions along the Pakistan-Afghanistan border.
The Afghan Taliban labeled the airstrikes a violation of international principles and vowed retaliation against Pakistan's actions.
Pakistan has accused Afghanistan of harboring militants responsible for cross-border attacks and called on Kabul to take decisive action against the TTP.
India criticized Pakistan for its 'old practice' of blaming neighbors for its domestic challenges and stated its commitment to monitoring the situation closely.
