Former Afghan President Karzai Urges UN to Condemn Pakistan's Attacks on Afghanistan

Former Afghan President Hamid Karzai has sent a letter to United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres urging him to condemn Pakistan's recent attacks on Afghanistan.

In the letter, Karzai described the attacks as violations of international law and UN principles that caused human casualties and significant damage to national facilities. He highlighted Pakistan's policy over more than four decades of using militancy, extremism and armed groups to exert influence in the region. Karzai called for diplomatic efforts to prevent further attacks, protect Afghan sovereignty and reduce regional tensions.

Amu TV reported that Pakistan conducted airstrikes on Afghan targets, including in Kabul, striking civilian sites such as a drug addicts' treatment center where the Taliban claimed 400 people were killed. The outlet cited UN OCHA as reporting hundreds dead, including children and one humanitarian worker, with 94,000 people displaced across five Afghan provinces due to clashes and airstrikes that began on February 26 between Taliban fighters and Pakistani forces.

Amu TV added that talks between the Taliban and Pakistan were ongoing in China to ease tensions. Afghanistan International noted that Guterres had previously expressed concern over the escalation between the Taliban and Pakistan.
