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.
Border guard UAV operators of the “Hart” Brigade on the South-Slobozhanskyi axis destroyed an enemy ammunition depot. Aerial reconnaissance detected activity near a hangar close to the border. Strike drones flew directly into the structure and hit an enemy truck inside. A powerful explosion confirmed that the vehicle was loaded with ammunition prepared for future assault operations. The strike disrupted the enemy’s logistics and prevented the use of the stored munitions.
Artillery, FPV drones, and heavy bomber units of the 33rd and 1st Assault Regiments dismantled a Russian assault group consisting of 17 troops near the village of Dobropillia in the Huliaipole direction. The group dismounted from a single ZIL truck before being detected and engaged. Coordinated strikes prevented the unit from advancing and neutralized the threat shortly after deployment. The operation highlights effective reconnaissance and rapid fire coordination against attempted assault movements.
Ukrainian drone operators from the Shadow unit carried out strikes against Russian positions and shelters. One of the drones, equipped with a heavy high-explosive charge, completely destroyed a building that was being used by Russian troops.
On the Orikhiv axis, Ukrainian Air Force aircraft carried out several airstrikes on enemy positions located in the southern high-rise buildings of Stepnohirsk. The strikes targeted fortified positions used by Russian forces in the urban area.

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.
