Pakistani Airstrikes in Afghanistan Result in Civilian Casualties, Including Children
The Afghan Taliban has reported that Pakistani military airstrikes in Afghanistan have resulted in the deaths of at least 13 people, including 11 children. The strikes targeted three Afghan provinces: Kunar, Khost, and Paktika. According to Taliban spokesperson Zabihullah Mujahid, these airstrikes violated Afghanistan's airspace and bombed civilian homes, injuring at least 14 others, all of whom were women and children. The Pakistani military has not immediately commented on the incident, but security officials have stated that the strikes were aimed at 'hideouts and other facilities of the Pakistani militants' allegedly used against Pakistan. This incident marks a renewal of conflict between the two countries, which had previously agreed to a fragile ceasefire in March, with China attempting to mediate the situation.
