This market will resolve to "Yes" if Pakistan initiates a drone, missile, or air strike on the soil of Afghanistan or any official Afghan embassy or consulate by the listed date, 11:59 PM Afghanistan Time (GMT+4:30). Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No". For the purposes of this market, a qualifying "military action" is defined as the use of aerial bombs, drones or missiles (including cruise or ballistic missiles) launched by Pakistani military forces that impact Afghan ground territory or any official Afghan embassy or consulate (e.g., if a weapons depot on Afghan soil is hit by a Pakistani missile, this market will resolve to "Yes"). Missiles or drones that are intercepted and surface-to-air missile strikes will not be sufficient for a "Yes" resolution, regardless of whether they land on Afghan territory or cause damage. Actions such as artillery fire, small arms fire, FPV or ground based ATGM strikes directly, ground incursions, naval shelling, cyberattacks, or other operations conducted by Pakistani ground operatives will not qualify. The resolution source will be a consensus of credible reporting. If the date/time of a strike cannot be confirmed by a consensus of credible reporting by the end of the third calendar date after this market's end date, it will resolve to "No" regardless of whether a strike was later confirmed to have taken place.Pakistan's Operation Ghazab lil-Haq, launched in late February 2026, marked the first major cross-border military action against Afghanistan since the Taliban's return to power, with airstrikes targeting Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) camps in provinces including Nangarhar, Paktika, Kabul, and Kandahar amid rising militant attacks on Pakistani border posts. Escalation prompted mutual artillery exchanges and claims of downed aircraft through March, including a brief Eid pause before resumption on March 26, as Islamabad demands Kabul curb TTP safe havens. China-mediated talks in early April yielded pledges for de-escalation and a comprehensive solution, though humanitarian fallout persists along the Durand Line. Traders monitor TTP activities, diplomatic follow-through, and potential border flare-ups for shifts in hostilities.
