Pakistan-Afghanistan terrorism and security tensions
Overview
Pakistan has increasingly voiced concerns regarding terrorism originating from Afghan territory. In September 2026, a Pakistan Army spokesperson stated that the Taliban use Afghan soil to train and launch attacks, specifically alleging that the Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) receives financial support from the Afghan Taliban. The spokesperson asserted Pakistan’s right to self-defense under Article 51 of the UN Charter and noted that the military has conducted over 42,000 intelligence-based operations this year.
By October 2026, during the Moscow Format Consultations on Afghanistan, Pakistan’s Special Representative for Afghanistan, Mohammad Sadiq, reiterated that a nexus exists between the Taliban government and various terrorist groups. Sadiq reported that terrorism from Afghanistan has resulted in the deaths of over 4,700 Pakistanis over the last three years. He described Pakistan’s counter-terrorism efforts as “precise, intelligence-based and defensive in nature” while emphasizing the need for regional peace and stability.
