At least three people were killed in Pakistani airstrikes in northeastern Afghanistan, escalating tensions between the two nations.
Pakistan conducted airstrikes inside Afghanistan, reportedly targeting militant hideouts. Afghan officials stated that at least three people were killed in the strikes. The Pakistani government has not yet officially responded to Kabul's accusations.
This action follows a recent attack on a police facility in northwest Pakistan and threatens to inflame tensions between the two neighbouring countries. The strikes, if confirmed, represent a significant escalation of cross-border actions, potentially reigniting broader conflict and complicating regional security efforts.
