Kabul calm amid tensions with Pakistan; daily life continues normally

Residents of Afghanistan’s capital report that life in Kabul remains calm and stable following last night’s airstrikes by the Pakistani military. People began Friday morning normally, without fear or anxiety, according to local accounts.

Marketplaces, commercial centers, and main roads across the city have seen regular activity, with families attending to daily routines. Citizens say the general atmosphere reflects confidence and a positive spirit throughout the capital.

Many Kabul residents have expressed support for the Islamic Emirate’s retaliatory operations across the Durand Line, emphasizing that Afghanistan is advancing toward self-sufficiency and sees less need for trade dependency on Pakistan.

Meanwhile, Afghanistan’s Ministry of Defense reported that its forces killed 55 Pakistani soldiers, captured several others, and seized two military bases along with 19 checkpoints during retaliatory operations. The ministry also confirmed eight Afghan soldiers were killed and 11 wounded in the clashes.

In addition, 13 civilians were injured in a Pakistani rocket attack on a returnee camp in Nangarhar province.
