According to the report, Pakistani officials said that a tunnel in Kandahar, which has been used by both the Afghan Taliban and the Pakistani Taliban terrorist group Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), was also attacked. Officials said this tunnel was used for recent attacks inside Pakistan.

According to the AFP report, people living in Kandahar said that they saw military planes flying over the city late at night and also heard the sounds of several explosions. One person said that the army plane had flown over the mountains in the area where a military base is located. After the plane took off, a loud bang was heard. Along with this, flames also became visible.
Some others said that sounds of air strikes were heard in the border town of Spin Boldak, located south-east of Kandahar. Authorities in Khost province, located on the eastern border, said clashes were reported on the night of Saturday (March 14, 2026).
