India vs Pakistan War took a diplomatic twist as Afghanistan’s Defense Ministry strongly rejected Pakistan’s claim that Indian missiles struck Afghan territory. The statement from Afghanistan’s Defense Ministry spokesman, Inayatullah Khawarizmi, came as a direct response to Pakistan’s allegations.
Khawarizmi, speaking with Harith Radio, categorically denied any Indian missile strike on Afghan soil, calling Pakistan’s claims “baseless and without any factual basis.”
This rejection from Kabul was further reinforced by India’s Ministry of External Affairs (MEA), which dismissed Pakistan’s allegations. A spokesperson for the MEA stated that “the people of Afghanistan know well who their true friends and enemies are.”
Pakistan’s Claim: A New Diplomatic Flashpoint
Pakistan had earlier alleged that Indian missiles targeting Pakistani territory had also struck Afghan soil. The claim quickly drew strong reactions from both Afghanistan and India, with both nations dismissing the accusation.
- Pakistan’s Allegation: Claimed that Indian missiles, aimed at Pakistani targets, had entered Afghan airspace and caused damage.
- Afghanistan’s Response: Afghan Defense Ministry spokesperson Inayatullah Khawarizmi stated that no such incident had occurred.
- India’s MEA Statement: India’s Ministry of External Affairs also dismissed the claim, emphasizing that Afghans clearly understand who their real enemies are.
Diplomatic Implications
This incident highlights the growing complexity of the India vs Pakistan War, now drawing Afghanistan into the diplomatic crossfire.
- Afghanistan’s Clear Stance: Kabul’s immediate rejection of Pakistan’s claim showcases its willingness to counter false narratives.
- India’s Support: India’s MEA backed Afghanistan’s position, indicating strong diplomatic ties between New Delhi and Kabul.
- Pakistan’s Isolation: As both India and Afghanistan deny the missile allegations, Pakistan may face diplomatic challenges in justifying its claims.
What Lies Ahead
As the India vs Pakistan War continues, the involvement of Afghanistan in this diplomatic exchange could further strain regional relations. India and Afghanistan’s coordinated response against Pakistan’s claim indicates a growing alignment between the two nations.
Diplomatic experts believe that Islamabad may now find itself facing increasing pressure to provide evidence for its allegations, while India and Afghanistan are likely to continue strengthening their partnership.
