Airstrike Pakistan

Pakistan and Iran on Friday agreed to de-escalate tensions that arose from a series of military actions in the border region of Baluchistan.

Pakistan and Iran "agreed to de-escalate" tensions Friday, Islamabad said, after trading deadly airstrikes on militant targets in each other's territory this week.

Pakistan said on Thursday it had carried out airstrikes against separatist militants in Iran, the latest step in a tense standoff after Iran's missile and drone strikes in the South Asian nation's border province of Balochistan.

Iran violated Pakistan's airspace and launched multiple missile strikes to target camps of two bases of the Baluchi militant group Jaish-al Adl.

Iran has summoned a top Pakistani diplomat amid geopolitical tensions between the neighbouring countries.

At least 11 people were killed after Iran and Pakistan traded airstrikes this week, signalling a worrying escalation of armed conflict in a Middle East already wracked by bloodshed, after Israel's war on Gaza and attacks by the Houthi militants.

Pakistan confirmed that it carried out air strikes against militant targets in Iran, days after Tehran launched attacks on Pakistani territory. Four children and three women were killed in the attacks, Iranian media reported.

Pakistan has recalled its top diplomat from Iran, hours after expelling that nation's representative from its territory, amid growing tension over Iranian air strikes Tuesday on the Pakistani province of Balochistan.

Two children were killed and three others injured in an "illegal" airstrike by Iran, Pakistan's foreign ministry said Wednesday, adding it had summoned Tehran's top diplomat in Islamabad to protest the "unprovoked violation of its airspace".

Afghanistan's acting defence minister said on Sunday that the Taliban administration would not tolerate "invasions" from its neighours after protesting against airstrikes it says were conducted by neighbouring Pakistan.

Taliban summoned Pakistan's ambassador to convey concerns to the Pakistan government over the recent airstrikes in different parts of Afghanistan's Khost and Kunar provinces in which five children and a woman lost their lives.

The Pakistan government on Saturday rejected media reports about the possibility of signing an agreement with the US on the use of the country's airspace for operations against terrorists in Afghanistan.

The fighter pilots of the same Indian Air Force squadron that bombed a Jaish-e-Mohammed camp in Pakistan's Balakot two years ago carried out a long-range precision strike against a practice target, sources have said.

From the cross-border airstrike in Pakistan's Balakot to the National Register of Citizens (NRC), the pandals in West Bengal have come up with myriad themes for the annual religious observance of Durga Puja.

India has requested Pakistan to let Prime Minister Narendra Modi's aircraft fly over its airspace to Bishkek in Kyrgyzstan where he has to attend the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) summit on June 13 and June 14, a senior government official told news agency Press Trust of India.
