The United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA) said on Friday it has recorded 185 civilian casualties in Afghanistan following recent clashes between Pakistan and Afghanistan.

In an update, the mission said that 56 civilians were killed and 129 others injured between the evening of February 26 and March 5 as a result of indirect fire and aerial attacks.

According to UNAMA, women and children made up the majority of the victims, accounting for about 55 percent of the total civilian casualties recorded during the period.

The mission also highlighted a specific incident on February 27 in Barmal District, where airstrikes reportedly killed 14 civilians — including four women, two girls, five boys and three men — and injured six others.

UNAMA noted that the number of civilians killed in the latest cross-Durand Line hostilities exceeds the casualties documented during clashes between Afghanistan and Pakistan in October 2025, when 47 civilians were killed and 456 injured.

The mission further reported that at least 70 civilians were killed and 478 injured in Afghanistan during the last three months of 2025. In addition, between January 1 and February 22 this year, 13 civilians were killed and 12 injured in airstrikes and cross-Durand Line shelling in Nangarhar Province.

UNAMA reiterated its call on all parties involved in the conflict to take necessary measures to prevent civilian casualties and uphold their obligations under international humanitarian law to protect civilians.

Afghanistan’s Ministry of National Defense said on Friday 327 Pakistani soldiers have been killed and hundreds more wounded since the launch of the retaliatory “Radd-ul-Zulm” operation, an ongoing campaign that started a week ago in response to attacks by Pakistani military.

In a statement, the ministry said Afghan forces conducted large-scale strikes over the past 24 hours against Pakistani military positions along the Durand Line facing the provinces of Kandahar, Nangarhar, Kunar, Khost, Paktia and Paktika.

According to the ministry, 14 Pakistani posts and three military bases were captured and completely destroyed during the latest phase of the operation.

The statement added that 109 Pakistani soldiers were killed and 148 others wounded in the past 24 hours alone. Afghan forces also destroyed more than 10 Pakistani military vehicles during the clashes.

The ministry said Afghan troops seized hundreds of light and heavy weapons along with a large quantity of ammunition, and claimed that two enemy reconnaissance aircraft were shot down during the fighting.

According to the report, three Afghan soldiers were killed and nine others wounded during the operation.

The ministry also said that seven civilians were killed and 13 others injured after Pakistani forces targeted residential areas during the fighting.

The Defense Ministry stressed that since the start of the “Radd-ul-Zulm” operation, which it said was launched in response to attacks by Pakistan’s military authorities, 64 Pakistani posts and seven military bases have been captured and destroyed, while 327 Pakistani soldiers have been killed and more than 350 others wounded.
