Pakistani Rocket Strikes Reported in Afghanistan’s Kunar Province

Pakistani forces fired rockets into Asadabad, the capital of Afghanistan’s eastern Kunar province, late Tuesday night. Local reports indicate the strikes occurred at approximately 11:30 p.m. local time. As of now, no official statements have been issued by Afghan authorities regarding the incident, and casualty figures remain unconfirmed.

The rocket fire adds to a series of cross-border incidents reported in recent months across eastern Afghanistan. Similar strikes have been documented in both Kunar and neighboring Paktika provinces. These recurring security incidents have reportedly displaced local families and heightened humanitarian concerns in the region.

Despite the reported attacks, initial assessments have not confirmed any structural damage to civilian infrastructure or verified casualties. Authorities have not yet released detailed information about the origin or specific targets of the projectiles. Local residents have expressed growing concern over the safety of border communities amid the continued cross-border fire.

The lack of immediate official communication has left local communities seeking clarity on the security situation. Humanitarian organizations operating in the region have previously warned that repeated strikes could disrupt local livelihoods and strain already limited resources. Border monitoring groups continue to track the frequency of these incidents as regional stability remains a focal point for observers.
