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.

In this footage, the crew of an An-28 aircraft engages and destroys a Russian Shahed kamikaze drone in dramatic fashion. Under laser guidance, the gunner tracks the target and opens fire with a minigun, shredding the UAV in mid-air.
According to the analytical project DeepState, Russian forces allegedly detonated a dam near Osykove in an attempt to complicate logistics toward Kostiantynivka. Floodwaters reportedly spread across the area and reached the Druzhkivka–Kostiantynivka highway, effectively turning the section into mud and making passage currently impossible. While supply routes have not been completely cut off, they have been significantly complicated. Analysts suggest the increased activity may indicate preparations for larger-scale actions in the Kostiantynivka direction. Independent confirmation of the full impact remains limited.
Ukrainian artillery reportedly scored a precise strike on a Russian TOS-1A “Solntsepyok” heavy flamethrower system during a reload phase. The impact led to a powerful secondary detonation, likely caused by the onboard thermobaric rockets. The system was caught in a vulnerable moment while rearming, resulting in a dramatic explosion visible from a significant distance. The TOS-1A is designed to launch thermobaric munitions and is typically deployed against fortified positions.
On the night of February 22–23, 2026, units of Ukraine’s Special Operations Forces carried out successful drone strikes against Russian military targets in temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine. In occupied Crimea, a concentration area of a missile battalion from the 15th Separate Coastal Missile Brigade of Russia’s Black Sea Fleet was struck. The unit is equipped with the Bastion coastal defense missile system. In occupied Donetsk Oblast, near the settlement of Nyzhnia Krynka, a Russian ammunition depot belonging to the “Yug” (South) grouping of forces was hit. Additionally, a logistics and materiel warehouse was struck near Velyka Novosilka. According to reports, FP-2 drones were used in the operation.
