Pakistani airstrikes kill at least three in Afghanistan

Along the fractured border between Pakistan and Afghanistan — two neighbors bound by geography and divided by grievance — Pakistani airstrikes claimed at least three lives on September 21, deepening a wound that has never fully closed. The strikes mark another chapter in a long contest over sovereignty, security, and the question of who bears responsibility for the violence that flows between these lands. As the dead are counted and statements remain absent, the world watches to see whether this moment becomes a threshold or merely another scar.
