Reliable sources told Afghanistan International that Pakistan’s air force carried out another airstrike on Kabul early Wednesday, causing a powerful explosion in the city.

However, Taliban spokespersons claimed the blast was the result of a fuel tanker explosion, not an airstrike.

Images obtained by Afghanistan International show a large explosion in Kabul’s Taimani area and near Chahar Rah-e Shahid. The scale of the damage and the intended target remain unclear, and no official casualty figures have been released.

The incident marks the latest in a series of cross-border escalations following days of intense clashes between Taliban and Pakistani forces along the frontier. Neither Islamabad nor the Taliban have yet issued a detailed statement on the reported strike.
