Pakistan strikes Afghanistan, Taliban reports civilian deaths
–
Neutral summary
Pakistani warplanes conducted airstrikes on suspected militant hideouts in the Afghan provinces of Kunar and Paktika, with Pakistan's information ministry saying 28 militants were killed. Afghan authorities, including Taliban officials, reported at least three civilians killed and four wounded, with the UN mission in Afghanistan confirming the deaths of a man, a woman and a girl. The strikes were a response to recent attacks on Pakistani security forces, including an assault on a police facility in Kohat that killed 31 people. Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid said the Afghan side would respond appropriately to the aggression. The attacks ended nearly three months of relative calm in the conflict between the two countries. Pakistani officials described the strikes as calibrated and said they targeted camps and hideouts of the Fitna al Khawarij group and its affiliates. Reports on the death toll vary, with some sources citing up to 37 killed, while Afghan officials insist civilians were among the victims.
