Konflikty · Cross-border airstrikesPakistan’s Afghan Strikes Kill 10+ Civilians, Most ChildrenNapisano 1 października 2026 19:52 UTCOglądajTranskrypcja0:09Pakistani airstrikes killed children in civilian homes, at least 10 civilians are0:13dead and 9 people injured, contradicting the assurance of no collateral damage,0:17while Pakistan's campaign is set to continue.0:20What is established about who died and what remains unknown before any further0:23attacks?0:24Pakistan acknowledged conducting aerial strikes inside Afghanistan.0:28The attacks hit Kunar and Helmand overnight into the early hours of October 1st,0:332026.0:34The Independent Civilian Casualty Assessment identifies both provinces but does not0:39itself name the attacking country.0:41Its minimum death toll is not a final count of everyone killed.0:45In Kunar, 30-year-old Mohammed Hashim pulled an injured woman from rubble, then0:49found the bodies of two men and four children.0:52The strike was around 3 in the morning.0:54That approximate timing applies to this Kunar strike.0:57Not necessarily every attack across both provinces.1:00Those six bodies must not be added to the minimum of 10 civilian deaths.1:04They concern the same attacks, and no complete victim-by-victim accounting is1:08available.1:08A separate description involving a farmer with the same name refers to a woman1:11beneath rubble.1:12And a man with four children killed.1:14Those close but different descriptions cannot be merged into one exact quotation or1:18used to establish another total.1:19Another resident, Idris Khan, described civilian victims, including women and1:24children.1:24The roughly three o'clock timing attached to that description came from a local1:28official, not Khan.1:30None of these descriptions inventories all casualties in both provinces.1:34The affected areas lie in two separate provinces.1:37The resolved Afghan official locations are Chugum, within Shultan district in Kunar1:42and Safar, within Garmser district in Helmand.1:44Chugum is also written Chogum or Chogum.1:47Shultan appears as Shultan, and Garmzer as Garmseir.1:50Chugum and Safar are areas, not separate districts.1:53A conflicting location description placed Safar in Gureshk.1:56The resolved official description places it in Garmsor.1:59Exact strike coordinates, every building hit, and a house-by-house distribution of2:03casualties remain unavailable.2:05The civilian count changed from 9 killed and 11 injured to at least 10 killed and 92:10injured.2:10The earlier Afghan government figures preceded the independent assessment.2:14The accompanying destruction claim covers three civilian homes across Kunar and2:18Helmand without an independently verified house-by-house breakdown.2:22No explanation establishes whether the difference in casualties reflects2:25verification, classification, information from different locations, or something2:30else.2:30There is no documented formal correction explaining it, and no verified later2:34official revision in the October 1st material.2:37Taking the higher death count and the earlier injury count would create a2:40combination neither assessment establishes.2:43The Afghan condemnation of the strikes as aggression and a crime is a political2:47position, not a judicial determination of criminal responsibility.2:50The independently assessed civilian deaths and injuries contradict the assurance2:54that no collateral damage occurred.2:56Pakistan's operation was presented as intelligence-based, selective strikes on3:00militant camps and hideouts at two locations, with an initial claim of 22 militants3:05killed and large quantities of weapons and ammunition destroyed.3:08Those alleged militant deaths, weapons losses, and claims of precision have not been3:12independently established.3:14Saying precautions were taken is different from demonstrating that they protected3:17civilians.3:18The alleged targets carried the labels Fitna al-Khwarij and Fitna al-Hindustan,3:23terms Pakistan uses for TTP-linked and BLA-linked groups.3:27Those affiliations have not been independently established for these strikes.3:31The operation forms part of Ghazab Lil Haq under the vision called Azam-e-Istekam.3:36Its stated justification is protecting Pakistani citizens from threats emanating3:40from Afghanistan, alongside a characterization of Afghanistan as a hub of terrorism.3:45Those are the operation's arguments, not established descriptions of the people3:48killed in the homes.3:49Ten civilian deaths and twenty-two claimed militant deaths cannot be added into a3:53verified combined toll.3:55There is no independently reconciled accounting of everyone killed, whether the3:59claimed categories overlap, whether militants were present at each location, or what4:03evidence supported selecting those targets.4:05Civilian casualties do not prove that no militants died.4:09A militant death claim does not erase the civilians killed.4:12Three rounds of air attacks inside Afghanistan have been publicly described in about4:1610 days.4:16The September 21st round identified Kunar and Paktika.4:19A later September round identified Kandahar, Pakhtia and Khost.4:23October 1st brought strikes in Kunar and Helmand.4:26That sequence is not a comprehensive official count of every operation.4:30Roughly three months of relative calm refers to the period before attacks resumed in4:34late September, not a pause ending with these October strikes.4:38More than 1,100 civilian deaths and injuries have been documented in Afghanistan4:42from cross-border armed violence so far in 2026.4:45That is a combined measure of people killed and injured, not 1,100 deaths, and not a4:49tally of every form of violence in Afghanistan.4:52The threshold appeared before October 1st and again alongside this strike4:55assessment.4:56Whether the current 10 deaths and 9 injuries are already included is unspecified.5:01Adding 19 to that threshold would manufacture precision the published accounting5:05does not provide.5:06Pakistan has announced that the campaign will continue at full pace.5:10The civilian deaths are independently established, the claimed militant toll and5:13targeting evidence remain unverified, and the complete casualty accounting is5:17unresolved.5:18That answers what can be established now, but not who else died or what further5:21operations will do to civilians.5:23The demands for de-escalation, dialogue, respect for international law and5:27prevention of further civilian harm stand alongside a continuation announcement that5:31specifies no date for another operation, no target list, and no campaign end date.Przeczytaj artykułOś czasu historiiHeyDexKrótki film ↗
