April 2026 in Afghanistan

A war began in late February 2026 between Pakistan and Afghanistan following Pakistani airstrikes on militant targets in eastern Afghanistan. Pakistan said the strikes targeted militant camps belonging to the Pakistani Taliban (TTP) and Islamic State – Khorasan Province (ISIS–K), in retaliation for recent attacks in Pakistan, while Taliban authorities and the United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA) reported casualties, though with different figures.
