India also raised “grave concern” over what it termed Pakistan’s practice of “trade and transit terrorism".

India on Thursday strongly condemned Pakistan’s airstrikes in Afghanistan during a United Nations Security Council discussion, denouncing the killing of innocent women, children, and cricketers. Echoing UNAMA’s concerns, India said the attacks violated the UN Charter and international law and called for full protection of civilians.

“We add our voice to calls for paying full respect to the United Nations Charter and international law with particular attention to the protection of innocent civilians," India’s envoy said, noting the humanitarian toll on communities already facing deep crisis.

India also raised “grave concern" over what it termed Pakistan’s practice of “trade and transit terrorism," citing the closure of vital access routes for Afghanistan, a landlocked country dependent on cross-border movement for essential supplies. Such actions, the envoy said, violate WTO norms and amount to “open threats and acts of war" against a fragile nation struggling to rebuild in difficult circumstances.

While condemning these acts, India reaffirmed its strong support for Afghanistan’s territorial integrity, sovereignty, and independence. It also called for pragmatic, coherent engagement with the Taliban, emphasising that international policy should incentivise positive actions.
