One of Pakistan’s first actions after the Peshawar school attack was to approach Ghani’s government and ensure that Afghan authorities blocked the escape routes of those involved in planning and executing it. Indeed, Sharif visited Ghani in Kabul just a few hours after the attack, and, even as the battle was still underway, Pakistan’s military launched airstrikes on terrorist hideouts along the countries’ border, after intelligence officials concluded that the attack had been planned by a group operating in that area.
白沙瓦学校袭击发生后，巴基斯坦的第一反应之一是请贾尼政府保证阿富汗当局关闭参与策划和执行此次袭击的相关人员的出逃之路。事实上，袭击发生后数小时，谢里夫就赴喀布尔与贾尼进行了会晤，而在战斗尚未结束时，根据情报官员做出的袭击系由藏身于国界沿线的恐怖分子所策划的结论，巴基斯坦军方对这些藏身处发动了空袭。
