Hundreds of residents in Panjshir's first district and Bazarak city have taken to the streets in protest. They were protesting against Pakistani attacks on Paktia, Paktika and Kunar provinces. The demonstrators condemned the strikes as attacks on civilian homes by the Pakistani military regime.

The protesters said that these actions are contrary to Islamic Sharia, human principles and international laws. They called for the defense of the homeland and urged that further incidents be prevented from occurring.

The group appealed to the international community and neighboring countries to help stop any repetition of the attacks. Slogans against Pakistan were carried during the demonstration.

The attacks have led to strong reactions across Afghanistan where they have been described as inhumane. The protest reflects the sentiments of the people in Panjshir regarding the situation.

Reliability assessment

Single source provides direct reporting with concrete, checkable details including specific locations (Panjshir district, Bazarak), targeted provinces (Paktia, Paktika, Kunar), and scale of protest (hundreds of residents).

The source language mixes facts with framing or advocacy wording. Hurriyat: "brutal attacks", "inhumane", "wild attacks" – these phrases emotionally frame Pakistan's actions as savage and immoral beyond neutral reporting.
