STATEMENT BY THE INTERNATIONAL HUMAN RIGHTS FOUNDATION-IHRF
Subject: Urgent Concern Regarding Civilian Casualties in Pakistani Airstrikes on Afghan Border Provinces
The International Human Rights Foundation-IHRF expresses profound alarm over reports of Pakistani military airstrikes conducted overnight in the Afghan border provinces of Paktia, Paktika, and Kunar. According to local accounts, these operations have resulted in grievous civilian harm, including the destruction of multiple family homes and mass casualties.
Preliminary reports indicate the following:
· In Mandokhail village, Chamkani district, Paktia, an initial strike allegedly hit a civilian residence, killing an elderly man and a child. Witnesses further report that a subsequent strike targeted villagers who had gathered to render aid and conduct rescue operations, resulting in the reported deaths of 28 additional civilians and injuries to over 150 others.
· In Walwast village, Gayan district, Paktika, a residential home was reportedly struck, killing six civilians, the majority of whom were women and children.
· In Barolo village, Manogai district, Kunar, a civilian home was destroyed, causing extensive property damage.
Aggregate preliminary figures place the reported toll at no fewer than 38 civilians killed, including women and children, and 163 injured, with three family homes completely razed.
The IHRF underscores that the reported strikes on civilian dwellings and the alleged subsequent targeting of rescue personnel raise grave concerns under International Humanitarian Law (IHL), particularly the principles of distinction, proportionality, and precaution. The deliberate or indiscriminate attack on civilians and humanitarian responders may constitute serious violations of the Geneva Conventions and their Additional Protocols.
The IHRF calls upon the Government of Pakistan to:
1. Immediately and transparently clarify the circumstances, legal basis, and targeting protocols governing these operations.
2. Cooperate fully with independent, impartial investigations into all allegations of unlawful civilian harm.
3. Ensure unfettered access for humanitarian assistance to affected communities.
Furthermore, the IHRF urges:
· The international community, including the United Nations and relevant human rights mechanisms, to rigorously monitor these developments, document all incidents, and support fact-finding missions.
· All parties to uphold their unequivocal obligation to protect civilians as the paramount priority in any armed operation.
· Prompt accountability for any violations of international law, including through appropriate judicial or investigative processes.
The IHRF reiterates that the protection of civilian life is not discretionary—it is a binding legal and moral imperative. We stand ready to assist in any effort to establish the facts, safeguard the rights of victims, and ensure justice for all affected families.

This is not Gaza, it is Afghanistan, where it was not the Israelis but the Pakistani army and air force that shed the blood of innocents through indiscriminate bombing.
He lives, Yazid lives even today!
یہ غزہ نہیں افغانستان ہے، جہاں اسرائیلی نہیں بلکہ پاکستانی فوج اور ائیرفورس نے اندھا دھند بمباری کرکے معصوموں کا خون بہایا ہے۔
زندہ ہے، یزید آج بھی زندہ ہے!

🚨 Afghan drone strikes hit multiple targets in Balochistan’s Gulistan and Gardi Jangal areas.
According to sources, a drone attack last night targeted a center in Gulistan area under the supervision of Faizullah Khan. The center belonged to a former Afghan government figure known as Qahar (from Kandahar) and his associates.
Qahar is said to have been using the facility for the activities of his group. Sources report that several individuals were present at the site, and the target was hit with high precision.
In a similar attack in the Shakar Ab area of Gardi Jangal, drones struck centers belonging to Haji Ghulam and Haji Muhammad Wali — both allegedly linked to the former Kabul puppet regime — along with their associates. Reports suggest more than 100 people were present at these locations.
Confirmed details of casualties or material losses from either strike are not yet available, though significant human and financial damage is feared.
According to Afghan and Pakistani intelligence sources, Pakistani military establishments are attempting to use former members of Kabul’s puppet government for regime change efforts inside Afghanistan. Afghan officials stated: “These actions reflect the Pakistani army’s anti-Afghan policy, and as always, the result will be the failure of Pakistani conspiracies.”
Pakistani military and government sources have so far remained silent on the matter.
