Pakistan Accused of Bombing Afghan Home, Killing Children and Woman
Khost Province, Afghanistan – November 25, 2025 – At least nine children and one woman are dead following an alleged bombing by Pakistani forces on a residential home in Afghanistan’s Khost province, according to Zabihullah Mujahid, a spokesman for the Afghan Taliban. The incident reportedly occurred in the Gerbzwo district of Khawst province.
Mujahid stated in a post on X that the home belonged to a local resident named Wilayat Khan. He also alleged that Pakistani forces conducted raids in the provinces of Kunar and Paktika, resulting in injuries to four civilians.
Pakistani military and foreign ministry officials have not yet responded to requests for comment.
The reported attacks come just one day after twin suicide bombings claimed the lives of three paramilitary personnel in Peshawar, Pakistan. Tensions between the two countries have been escalating. In October, deadly clashes between Pakistani and Afghan military forces resulted in significant casualties on both sides, marking the worst violence since the Taliban’s return to power in 2021.
While a ceasefire was signed in Doha in October, peace talks in Turkey subsequently collapsed due to ongoing disagreements regarding militant groups hostile to Pakistan that operate within Afghanistan. The accusations of airstrikes further threaten to destabilize the already fragile relationship between Afghanistan and Pakistan.
