🇵🇰🇦🇫 Pakistan & Afghanistan don't want war — expert

💬 "Neither Afghanistan nor Pakistan wants a major conflict. By and large, they are equally concerned about the semi-criminal, semi-tribal enclave on the border. Thus, both sides will likely try to defuse the conflict this time as well," military expert Alexei Anpilogov said.

The two sides are unequal, he noted, with Pakistan being a nuclear power with the ability to buy arms, while Afghanistan is in isolation and uses abandoned US-made weapons.

👉 Late Thursday, Afghanistan announced it had launched large-scale military operations against Pakistani forces along the border, in response to recent bombings.

Early Friday, Pakistan retaliated by carrying out strikes on the Afghan capital, Kabul.
