Pakistan and Afghanistan used to be close allies, but that relationship is falling apart. The two countries are now moving toward a possible war after a series of deadly events at their border.
Recently, Pakistan launched airstrikes inside Afghanistan. The strikes resulted in the deaths of at least nine people, according to Reuters. A U.N. mission reported that at least 10 civilians were killed, and most of them were children.
The Afghan government has strongly condemned the attacks. These strikes have pushed the already strained relationship between the two neighbors to a dangerous new level.
Experts are watching this situation closely. Many believe Afghanistan is becoming a major pressure point for Pakistan, especially as Pakistan tries to balance its own goals in the Middle East with the instability at its border.
For now, the situation remains tense. Both sides are trading harsh words, and there is no sign of a quick fix to the growing conflict.
