Taliban spokesperson Zabihullah Mujahid warned Pakistan against carrying out military operations inside Afghanistan, while rejecting Islamabad’s accusations that Afghan territory is being used by militant groups to launch attacks across the border.
Speaking in an exclusive interview with Al Arabiya English, Mujahid said Afghanistan would defend its sovereignty if Pakistan carried out strikes inside the country.
“If Pakistan invokes Article 51 to violate the sanctity of Afghan territory, Afghanistan has the right to defend its country, and we will do so,” he said, warning of a “crushing response” to any violation of Afghan sovereignty.
