Pakistani Strikes in Afghanistan Prompt Taliban Warning
The Pakistani army carried out airstrikes on areas in Kunar and Paktika provinces in eastern Afghanistan early Monday morning, marking a new escalation between Islamabad and the Taliban movement. The Taliban government confirmed that the strikes targeted civilians, resulting in the death of three people and injuries to four, prompting the group to vow an appropriate response. Pakistan, on the other hand, announced that its strikes targeted militant hideouts and killed 28 militants. Since the beginning of the year, military clashes between the two sides have become more frequent, amid mutual accusations of using Afghan territory to launch attacks inside Pakistan. The Taliban government denies these accusations and continues to threaten military responses to Pakistani incursions.
