  "summary": "Pakistan has rejected Afghan Taliban allegations of civilian casualties in its counterterrorism operations, stating that its actions were exclusively aimed at terrorist groups and their logistical support bases. The Foreign Office emphasized that terrorist attacks from Afghan territory have caused over 3,500 casualties in Pakistan in 2026 alone, and that the Afghan Taliban regime continues to shelter terrorist organizations, including the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan and the Balochistan Liberation Army. Pakistan's response was carried out in self-defense and as a last resort, adhering to principles of distinction and proportionality.",
