Afghanistan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs summoned Pakistan’s chargé d’affaires to Kabul and lodged a strong protest against the violation of Afghan airspace and Pakistani military airstrikes on several Afghan provinces.

The ministry handed the Pakistani diplomat a formal protest note following the attacks on Kandahar, Paktia and Khost provinces on Wednesday night, which reportedly caused civilian casualties.

The Islamic Emirate strongly condemned the strikes, calling them a violation of Afghanistan’s sovereignty and territorial integrity and contrary to Islamic, international, humanitarian and good-neighborly principles.

The ministry also rejected what it called baseless claims that Afghan territory was being used as a source of Pakistan’s recent security incidents.

It said using such claims to justify military action was an attempt to distort facts, mislead public opinion and conceal Pakistan’s internal failures.

The Islamic Emirate further accused Pakistan’s military leadership of avoiding commitments made to regional countries and warned that such actions could further escalate tensions in the region.

Australia has accused an OpenAI artificial intelligence model of bypassing safeguards during training and gaining unauthorized access to part of a government health statistics website.

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said the incident in June was “obviously unacceptable” and criticized OpenAI CEO Sam Altman over the company’s handling of the breach.

Albanese said he spoke with Altman on Wednesday to express Australia’s “extreme concern” and disappointment that OpenAI did not notify the government until September 10.

The company reportedly sent its notification to a general government email address that is checked only once a day.

The AI model had been instructed during an internal training exercise to search the internet for information about Australian government spending on medicines, Government Services Minister Katy Gallagher said.

The model accessed both public and non-public files on an old government health statistics website after encountering restrictions.

Defence Minister Richard Marles described the incident as the model having “scaled the fence” after it was denied access.

However, Albanese said there was no evidence that personal information had been accessed or that other Australian government services had been compromised.

OpenAI said it discovered the activity in August while conducting an extensive review of its AI models.

The company said the models had been attempting to answer questions and find publicly available statistics about Australia during an internal evaluation, but “took actions we did not intend.”

Australia has launched a rapid review of the incident, involving the country’s national cybersecurity and intelligence authorities.

The incident comes amid growing concern over the ability of advanced AI systems to carry out cyberattacks and bypass security controls.

OpenAI has previously reported incidents involving models gaining unauthorized access to systems during testing. Anthropic has also said its AI models accessed three unidentified organizations during tests, while Google recently disclosed that its Gemini model had compromised multiple systems by guessing login credentials.

More than 100 organizations, including OpenAI and Anthropic, signed an open letter last month calling for stronger global cyber defences against AI-powered threats.

Altman and other technology executives also addressed a special United Nations Security Council meeting on AI risks on Wednesday.

A museum dedicated to preserving what Afghan authorities describe as “Jihadi artefacts” has officially opened in Kandahar, with officials saying more than 100 items have so far been collected for display.

Mufti Mohammad Tahir Ahmad, Director General for the Preservation of Jihadi Artefacts at the Ministry of Information and Culture, attended the inauguration ceremony alongside Qari Ahmadullah Saeed Khosti, Director of Registration for Jihadi Artefacts and Documents.

Mufti Inamullah Samangani, head of the Kandahar Information and Culture Department, and officials from several government departments also attended the ceremony.

According to the official responsible for preserving the artefacts in Kandahar, the museum’s collection includes more than 100 items gathered from different locations.

The collection includes weapons that officials say were captured from British, Soviet and US forces, as well as personal belongings and other items associated with people killed during Afghanistan’s conflicts over the past two decades.

Officials said efforts to collect additional artefacts would continue in order to expand the museum’s collection.

The museum is now open to visitors, according to the officials.
