Taliban security personnel stand guard near the Torkham border crossing between Afghanistan and Pakistan in the Nangarhar province on Feb. 27, 2026. Aimal Zahir | Afp | Getty Images Pakistan bombed Taliban government targets in Afghanistan's major cities on Thursday night, officials from both countries said on Friday, with Pakistan's defense minister calling the conflict "open war". Security sources in Pakistan said the strikes involved air-to-ground missile attacks on Taliban military offices and posts in Kabul, Kandahar and Paktia as well as ground clashes in multiple sectors along the border between the Islamic nations. The Taliban said it launched what it described as retaliatory attacks on Pakistani military installations. Both sides reported heavy losses, issuing sharply differing figures that Reuters could not independently verify. "Our cup of patience has overflowed.

Relations between Kabul and Islamabad have been strained by a long-running dispute over Pakistan's accusation that Afghanistan harbors militants carrying out attacks across the border. The Taliban have denied the charge and said Pakistan's security is an internal problem. The strikes on Taliban government installations are a major escalation, and threaten a protracted conflict along the 2,600-km (1,615-mile) frontier. Taliban spokesperson Zabihullah Mujahid confirmed Pakistani forces carried out air strikes in parts of Kabul, Kandahar and Paktia but did not give details. Kandahar is the headquarters of the Taliban and the city where supreme spiritual leader Haibatullah Akhundzada is based. Video shared by Pakistani security officials showed flashes of light in the night from firing along the border and the sound of heavy artillery. A video of strikes on Kabul, for which Reuters was able to verify the location, showed thick plumes of black smoke rising from two sites and a massiv...

Rolling coverage of the latest economic and financial news Analysts suspect that regulators, such as California Attorney General Rob Bonta, could attempt to challenge Paramount’s takeover of Warner Bros Discovery. Bonta , a Democrat, said late on Thursday that his office would take a ‘vigorous’ approach to the deal. “Paramount/Warner Bros is not a done deal. These two Hollywood titans have not cleared regulatory scrutiny — the California Department of Justice has an open investigation, and we intend to be vigorous in our review.” “We’ve always been disciplined, and at the price required to match Paramount Skydance’s latest offer, the deal is no longer financially attractive, so we are declining to match the Paramount Skydance bid.” Continue reading...
