Pakistan Resumes Military Operations in Afghanistan

0:00It's March 26. You're listening to Global News today, AI-powered coverage from around the world. I'm Cory with the story. Pakistan has resumed its military operations against Afghanistan, just after a brief pause for the Islamic festival of Eid al-Fitr. The foreign ministry spokesperson confirmed this on Thursday, March 26, saying the strikes are back on track with no further breaks planned. The clashes between these neighboring countries kicked off last month, turning what were once close allies into bitter rivals. Tensions boiled over quickly, leading to that short haul and fighting to mark the end of Ramadan. Afghan officials in Kabul report a heavy toll from a recent Pakistani air strike. They say more than 400 people died when missiles hit a drug rehabilitation center in the capital, right before the temporary ceasefire took effect. Now, with operations restarting, both sides are digging in. Pakistan hasn't commented on the death toll claims, but the fresh round of strikes signals no easy path to talks anytime soon.
