Summary
Pakistani air and drone strikes inside Afghanistan on at least 15 occasions between October 2025 and September 2026 killed at least 364 civilians and wounded 346 others across Kabul and the provinces of Kandahar, Kunar, Khost, Nangarhar, Paktia, and Paktika. Women and children made up 55% of casualties in some strike clusters. UNAMA confirmed individual incidents and noted more than 1,100 civilian deaths and injuries from cross-border violence in 2026 alone. Strikes also damaged homes, a madrassa, and a mosque. Pakistan claimed it targeted militant hideouts; UNAMA called on all parties to respect international humanitarian law.
Where
We record how precisely an event can be placed, because "somewhere in the province" and "this street" are different claims.

Each code names the treaty provision the conduct engages, so the assignment can be checked rather than trusted.
