World War Video: War videos from around the wor - The Chronicles

Unverified reports circulating online claim intense ground clashes between Pakistani forces and Afghan fighters along the Durand Line. Some accounts allege that several Pakistani military posts were overrun and that fighting resulted in significant casualties. Other claims reference air operations and civilian harm, though no independent confirmation has been provided by credible international sources at this time. Official statements from both sides remain limited, and battlefield claims from social media cannot be independently verified.

Pakistan carried out airstrikes on eastern Afghan provinces, targeting what it described as militant positions. In response, the Taliban launched a large-scale offensive along the Afghanistan–Pakistan border, with clashes reported simultaneously in six Afghan provinces. Taliban forces claim they have captured 10 Pakistani army positions and destroyed another five along the frontier. They also say they conducted retaliatory strikes on Pakistan Army bases and military centers near the Durand Line. Pakistani officials, for their part, report that around 19 Afghan Taliban fighters were killed and nine border posts were destroyed as a result of what they call Afghanistan’s “unprovoked” fire on Pakistani positions. Both sides accuse each other of supporting terrorism, and the situation on the border is clearly moving toward further escalation.

Mass unrest has shaken Mexico amid escalating clashes between federal forces and militants of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG). In Jalisco, intense fighting has halted public transport, blocked major highways, and disrupted airport operations. Reports say CJNG leader Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes was killed in a security operation — a major blow to the cartel. In response, militants set vehicles on fire and reportedly deployed FPV drones during confrontations. The operation is ongoing, with fears of further escalation.

On February 22, 2026, Pakistan launched a series of high-intensity airstrikes inside Afghanistan, targeting what it described as militant infrastructure. According to reports, the strikes hit locations in Paktika, Barmal, Nangarhar, and Khugyani districts. Local Afghan sources say the operation was the largest of its kind in the area and resulted in significant casualties. Pakistani officials stated that the targets included Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), Al-Qaeda, and Islamic State militants. The situation remains fluid as further details continue to emerge.

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) reported carrying out airstrikes against Hezbollah weapons storage facilities and military infrastructure in southern Lebanon. According to the IDF, the strikes were aimed at preventing attempts by Hezbollah to rebuild its military capabilities. The military stated that one of the targeted sites was embedded within a civilian area, which it described as evidence of Hezbollah’s use of civilians as human shields. The IDF emphasized that advance warnings and additional precautionary measures were taken in an effort to minimize harm to civilians. Israeli officials said these activities constitute a violation of the existing understandings between Israel and Lebanon and pose a direct threat to Israel’s security. The IDF added that it will continue to act against any threats to the State of Israel.

Myanmar has been in a state of civil war since the military coup in February 2021, when the army overthrew the elected government and seized power. Since then, the ruling military junta has been fighting multiple resistance forces across the country, creating a constant conflict zone update and a grim situation on the ground for civilians. In Kachin State and the Sagaing Region, the junta is conducting field operations against: 1. the Kachin Independence Army (KIA) — an ethnic armed group seeking autonomy, 2. People’s Defense Forces (PDF) — local resistance units formed after the coup. Alongside regular troops, the junta uses pro-government militias, including the Warazup militia and the Shanni Nationalities Army, to attack rebel-held areas, further complicating the operational environment. The fighting is part of a wider internal war in which the military relies on force and allied militias to suppress resistance, while affected communities face ongoing displacement, airstrikes, and widespread destruction. This serves as war documentation and a field report on urban frontline areas, the humanitarian situation, and the conflict impact on cities and rural regions alike.
