Drone Strikes and Escalating Air Activity Raise Security Concerns in Ghazni

DID Press: Residents in Afghanistan’s Ghazni province report a surge in unidentified drone activity and multiple airstrikes in urban areas, intensifying security concerns and heightening public anxiety in recent days.

Local sources say several explosions were recorded in different parts of the city, including repeated strikes in residential zones, while drone flights have continued overhead without interruption. Witnesses describe a sustained atmosphere of fear as aerial activity expands across multiple districts.

Earlier reports also indicated that a commercial market in the city had been struck in a separate incident, further deepening concerns over civilian safety and infrastructure damage.

Unverified local accounts suggest that armed groups may be operating within civilian areas, though no official confirmation has been provided by local authorities. Authorities have not issued detailed statements regarding responsibility for the incidents.

The developments come amid broader regional tensions, including a separate drone strike in neighboring provinces that reportedly resulted in civilian casualties, raising further alarm about the expanding scope of aerial operations in the country.
