That was not on my bingo card
 
Pakistan state-run media has now confirmed that the Pakistani Air Force carried out a number of strikes tonight against Taliban military sites within the capital of Kabul and several other areas across Afghanistan, as part of Operation Ghazab Lil Haq. Under the operation, aircraft of Pakistan’s Air Force reportedly targeted and destroying two brigade headquarters in Kabul; a corps headquarters, brigade headquarters, ammunition depot, and logistics base in Kandahar; and a corps headquarters in Paktia.

Pakistani Defense Minister Khawaja Asif:After NATO forces withdrew, it was expected that peace would prevail in Afghanistan and that the Taliban would focus on the interests of the Afghan people and regional stability. However, the Taliban turned Afghanistan into a colony of India. They gathered terrorists from around the world in Afghanistan and began exporting terrorism. They deprived their own people of basic human rights. They took away from women the rights that Islam grants them.Pakistan made every effort, both directly and through friendly countries, to keep the situation stable. It carried out extensive diplomacy. However, the Taliban became a proxy of India. Today, when attempts are being made to target Pakistan with aggression, by the grace of God our armed forces are giving a decisive response.In the past, Pakistan’s role has been positive. It has hosted five million Afghans for 50 years. Even today, hundreds of thousands of Afghans are earning their livelihood on our soil. Our patience has reached its limit. Now it is open confrontation. Now there will be decisive action. Pakistan’s army has not come from across the seas — we are your neighbors, and we know your reality well.

This one is something to keep an eye on, many moving parts here, TPP, Baloch separatist groups, a scenario in which the US does go for regime change in Iran and there is a power vacuum in Iran, Baloch separatist groups are also in Iran, with a power vacuum in Iran these groups can rise in power, this would apply more pressure to Pakistan and possibly open another front, and a stressed Pakistan is not something we should want, Plus there is China, China has a major trade route through there for their Belt and Road initiative the China-pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) is a concern, While the majority of it is not really something the TPP could realistically hit/target, there are a few spots that are close enough that it could concern China, China needs the stability or the perceived stability of CPEC, it's not something they are just going to let go of also part of that is Gwadar port.
 
DEFCON Warning System said:
Afghanistan is not nuclear armed.

No, but the Iran conflict has triggered some protests in Kashmir and schools in the region remain closed until March 7th.

Has nothing to do with Afghanistan not having nukes. It has everything to do with destabilization in a region that is disputed territory between two nuclear nations who have fought wars in the past, at least one of which caused us to go to DEFCON 3 at one point before things settled down.

It's just another facet of the entire clusterfuck over there that we need to keep an eye on.
