Comment: Besides adding references properly (see this handy guide), you'll want to add more sources too. For instance, a quick Google search uncovered this NYTimes article; and a more elaborate search may yield a lot else. JavaHurricane 09:23, 9 April 2024 (UTC)
The 1984 Soviet–Afghan Border Raids began when the Afghan Air Force and Soviet Air Forces attacked Pakistani frontier towns in order to seal the border crossing routes across the Durand Line and make it inaccessible to the Afghan mujahideen, killing over 130 people.[1] Afghan forces used both air and ground attacks, while Soviet MIGs bombed a Waziristani village, causing the deaths of 40 civilians. This assault highlighted the conflict's devastating impact on border communities.[2][3]

Raids
editOn 29 September 1984, Pakistani officials stated that an Afghan Air Force aircraft flew across the Durand Line and used its munitions on Pakistani border town Teri Mangal, situated in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, used by the Afghan mujahideen. The plane supposedly dropped two bombs and stayed in Pakistani airspace for 2–4 minutes before flying back to Afghanistan. As a result of the bombing, 32 people were killed, 48 were injured and 200 local shops in the town were destroyed.[4]
In the same year, observers reported that Soviet–Afghan forces made 43 airspace violations and 14 ground incursions into Pakistan, resulting in 300 casualties and heavy losses for each side. The Afghan government then accused the Pakistan Army of attacking its garrisons after airstrikes spilled into Pakistani territory.[2]
