Accurate information and analysis regarding recent political, security, and intelligence developments.

The Jamaat-ul-Ahrar faction of the #TTP has rejected the military regime’s claims that it uses the territory of other countries as safe havens. The group challenged Pakistani generals to confront them directly inside #Pakistan instead of using such force against women and children.

Local residents say that the #Pakistani regime also bombed people in Chamkani district of #Paktia last night who had gone to the scene to carry out rescue and relief efforts, resulting in numerous casualties.

According to the latest details, as a result of the #Pakistani military regime’s brutal airstrikes tonight, at least 25 children have been martyred so far.

[Strategic Crescent @StratCrescent1]

Under the name of #human_rights, so-called international organizations remain silent in the face of #Pakistan’s ongoing atrocities, while the killing and bombing of innocent Afghan civilians continues openly. This silence clearly exposes a serious contradiction between their claims and their actual stance.

[Strategic Crescent @StratCrescent1]

The #Pakistani military regime claims that in tonight’s attacks it targeted #TTP members.

[Strategic Crescent @StratCrescent1]

Latest details indicate that as a result of the #Pakistani military regime’s brutal airstrikes on civilian homes and mosques in Paktia, Paktika, and Kunar, more than 40 people have been killed and over 145 injured, the majority of them women and children.

[Strategic Crescent @StratCrescent1]

The #military regime is once again attempting to portray the civilian victims of today’s attacks as #TTP members, despite the fact that all those killed and injured, including women and children, are civilians. Concealing civilian casualties and blaming the victims cannot change the reality of these attacks.

Civilian at the hospital:

Look, they are all children. Show them to the cameras—are these TTP militants or innocent children?

[Strategic Crescent @StratCrescent1]

In the Walust village of Giyan district, Paktika province, a Pakistani jet carried out an airstrike on the house of Mohammad Amin tonight, resulting in the martyrdom of Mohammad Amin, two women, and three children.

atrocity

Dr. Nawroz of Tsamkani Civil Hospital says that, as a result of the military regime’s bombardment, around 40 injured people, including women and children, have so far been brought to the hospital, and all of them are receiving first aid and medical treatment.

[Strategic Crescent @StratCrescent1]

The casualties of the #Pakistani regime’s attacks in the provinces of Paktia, Kunar, and Paktika are all civilians, most of whom are women and children.

[Strategic Crescent @StratCrescent1]

Pakistan’s narrative, which it repeats after every attack—that the attacker was an Afghan national—has now become a subject of ridicule. In a situation where Pakistani politicians themselves admit that, after the closure of the routes, not even a single pomegranate can enter Pakistan, the question arises: how does an attacker carrying explosives manage to reach cities that are under strict security measures, numerous checkpoints, and intelligence surveillance? #Pakistan should examine the real causes of such attacks in light of its own security shortcomings and internal problems, rather than blaming others every time.

For clarification

The propaganda efforts by the military regime and their hired social media activists against the current government of Afghanistan are so driven by misinformation and bias that, according to circulated videos, visible signs of #Pakistan’s Quetta city—such as Pakistan-assembled Alto cars, houses, and electricity poles—clearly indicate the reality of the location.

[Ahmad Sharifzad @AhmadSharifzad]

Women and girls in Afghanistan continue to face organized violence, targeted killings, and abduction attempts by Taliban members. In this video, a vehicle linked to the Taliban regime tries to abduct a young woman but fortunately does not succeed. Sadly, the victim sustains severe injuries to her leg during the attack.
I still can’t understand what @saadmohseni sees in this regime that leads him to justify its terrorist behavior. It's shameful and disgusting.

Pakistan’s fear of Afghanistan’s political and economic progress.

Zamir Kabulov says that the Shanghai Cooperation Organization’s cooperation with Afghanistan has been stalled due to the opposition of one member state. Although he did not name the country, Russian media, citing informed sources, reported that #Pakistan may be behind the opposition. Kabulov added that Kabul seeks full membership in the Shanghai Cooperation Organization.

[Strategic Crescent @StratCrescent1]

According to security sources, following the growing threat posed by continuous targeted attacks by unidentified armed groups, some key #ISIS members have been relocated and stationed in secure areas around #GHQ.

[Al-Mirsaad English @AlmirsadEnglish]

Al-Mirsaad's findings indicate that key ISIS-K centers and hideouts in Khyber District are located in the Shanko and Qamber Khel areas of Bara Tehsil, as well as in the Sur Ghar and Kamar Ghand mountain regions. These locations lie just a few kilometers from Hayatabad in Peshawar and other Pakistani military installations.

[Strategic Crescent @StratCrescent1]

The Deputy Prime Minister of Kazakhstan visited different parts of #Kabul city today without special protocol or heavy security, and purchased local Afghan products, which reflects a reassuring level of security in Afghanistan.

[Strategic Crescent @StratCrescent1]

Al-Marsad, through its sources, has obtained a video showing that a few nights ago, unidentified armed men targeted #ISIS members in #Khyber_Qambar_Khel.

If such precise and sustained operations against ISIS continue, they can significantly limit the group’s operational capacity. However, alongside military actions, preventing recruitment channels and countering the spread of extremist ideology are also crucial. If all these factors are combined, the group’s operational space can be greatly reduced.

Efforts by the Afghan government against ISIS are commendable.

🚨 Breaking: The #Chaman–#Quetta road has been closed in protest by local residents since last night.

According to reports, those former soldiers whom #Pakistan is now using against the current government of Afghanistan, in addition to other acts of hooliganism, deliberately opened fire on vehicles of local people on the Saranan road last night, as a result of which many passengers and women were injured.

The incident has sparked a strong reaction among the local population, who are demanding that the local administration remove these individuals from the area. However, according to the locals, they were told in response that these individuals are affiliated with intelligence agencies and that they are beyond the control of the local administration.
