The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- The conflict began with Pakistani airstrikes on alleged Pakistani Taliban and Islamic State – Khorasan Province camps in eastern Afghanistan, and escalated within a week into what Pakistan's defence minister, Khawaja Asif, called an "open war" fought under the codename Operation Ghazab lil-Haq.
- The war has combined air and artillery exchanges along the Durand Line with a parallel insurgency inside Pakistan, as the TTP and allied groups intensified attacks in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Balochistan.
- Two ceasefire agreements for the Islamic holidays of Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha briefly reduced hostilities but did not end them, fighting continued at lower intensity through the summer of 2026 and flared again in September following a mass-casualty attack in Kohat, Pakistan.
