Pakistan hopes steep cost of airstrikes on Taliban targets will protect against terror attacks

🤖AI Özeti

Pakistan is intensifying airstrikes against Taliban targets in Afghanistan, aiming to compel the Taliban to stop supporting militant groups that threaten Pakistan. Experts characterize these actions as defensive measures, albeit ones that risk escalating violence in the region. The strategy is to impose significant costs on the Taliban to deter future attacks. However, this approach may lead to a cycle of retaliatory violence.
