India Condemns Pakistan's Air Strikes on Afghan Territory, Calls It a Direct Threat to Regional Peace

India's Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) issued a statement on June 29, 2026, strongly condemning Pakistan's air strikes on Afghan territory. The MEA reiterated India's unwavering support for Afghanistan’s sovereignty and territorial integrity. The strikes, which occurred in the early hours of June 29, targeted areas in the eastern region of Afghanistan, raising concerns about the escalation of conflict in the region. The Indian government accused Pakistan of engaging in a 'direct threat to regional peace' through its military actions. The MEA emphasized that such actions undermine the fragile stability in the region. Pakistan did not immediately comment on the accusations, but the strikes have already sparked diplomatic tensions between the two nuclear-armed neighbors. The event has drawn international attention, with Afghanistan's government urging both India and Pakistan to exercise restraint. The situation remains volatile, with the potential for further escalation in the region.
