Regional politics is sometimes read not in official announcements but in the sequence of events. An explosion, then accusations, then airstrikes, then claims about armed men infiltrating from the other side's territory. Looked at one by one, these seem like ordinary security incidents, but when they're tied together by timing, by target, and by the political and propaganda atmosphere that follows them, a picture emerges of a broader regional security and political equation.
On September 18, 2026, a bloody attack hit security installations in Kohat, killing at least 23 people. Three days later, on September 21, Pakistani fighter jets carried out airstrikes on Kunar and Paktika in Afghanistan. Pakistan claimed it had targeted militants, but the Afghan side spoke of civilian casualties, and the United Nations also confirmed civilians had been killed in Kunar. On September 26, Dera Ismail Khan witnessed another bloody attack, in which 12 people were killed and many others wounded.
The important question here isn't only who carried out these attacks. We also have to look at who drew political and strategic benefit from them once they happened, why Pakistan's internal security incidents are so quickly turned toward Afghanistan, and whether this security atmosphere is being used as a tool of pressure for particular political aims. Of course, these questions aren't in themselves proof of who designed the attacks, but they do open serious ground for examining how the incidents get used politically.
For a long time Pakistan has tied a portion of its internal security problems to Afghanistan. Islamabad accuses Kabul of sheltering anti-Pakistan militants, but the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan (IEA) has rejected these claims. After the Kohat attack too, Pakistani officials focused mostly on Afghanistan, and a few days later they carried out airstrikes on Afghan soil. That's why one important question is whether every new major attack in Pakistan can be used as a tool for political pressure on Afghanistan, for military action, and for building an international political front.
This matters even more at a time when Pakistan is facing internal political pressure, economic problems, and a security crisis with Afghanistan. Under these circumstances, raising an "external security threat" can shift the focus of domestic political debate and push security to the top of the agenda. Given the wide role of the army and intelligence structure in Pakistan's modern history, when major security attacks happen under the watch of a broad security system and are afterward pointed toward Afghanistan, it's natural for questions to be raised about that structure's role, its interests, and its possible political use of them. But proving these questions requires independent investigation and evidence.
On the other hand, taking into account the joint defense agreement between Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, and Turkey on August 7, 2026, and the arrangements for strategic political and defense cooperation to put it into practice on August 31, any major event in Pakistan's security situation can't be judged separately from the discussion of this country's new regional security role. With defense cooperation, joint military capacities, technology, and security arrangements expanding, Pakistan's internal security crisis could take on political importance for making the case for its foreign defense partnerships and regional security needs.
At the same time, Afghanistan's efforts to diversify its economic ties are creating a new shift in the region's strategic equation. Expanding Afghanistan's relations with Saudi Arabia, Central Asia, China, Iran, and other countries in mining, energy, transit, and foreign investment could open the way for Afghanistan to break out of dependence on a single economic route. The proposals put forward...

هندوکشغږ د تش په نوم مقاومت جبهې او آزادۍ جبهې له منځ څخه داسې اطلاعات ترلاسه کړي دي، چې د پاکستان پوځي رژیم او عطا محمد نور ترمنځ د سل میلیون ډالري ناکامې معاملې څخه پرده پورته کوي.
د ترلاسه شویو اطلاعاتو پر بنسټ، کله چې په لومړي ځل پوځي رژیم د نیابتي جګړې او ګډوډۍ لپاره د عطا محمد نور د سل میليونه ډالرو د ورکړې غوښتنه رد کړه، نو له څه مودې وروسته نوموړي له پوځي رژیم سره یو ځل بيا اړیکه ونیوله، خو دا ځل هم پاکستاني لوري ياده غوښتنه رد کړه او نوموړي ته یې وړاندیز وکړ چې د احمد مسعود په مشرۍ له مقاومت جبهې يا هم د یاسین ضیاء په مشرۍ آزادۍ جبهې په چوکاټ کې د افغان حکومت په خلاف فعاليت وکړي، چې په دې صورت کې یې ملاتړ کولای شي، خو عطا محمد نور له یادو جبهاتو سره د اختلافاتو له امله دا وړاندیز رد کړ.
د سرچينو د اطلاعاتو له مخې، د عطا محمد نور زوی خالد نور څه موده وړاندې په یو آنلاين تجارت کې ډېر زيان وليد، چې له امله يې اوس عطا محمد نور د پيسو په لټه کې دی، تر څو خپلې ستونزې پرې حل او د ور رسېدلي زیان فشار څه ناڅه کم کړي.
