At least 36 people, including women and children, were killed and 163 others injured in airstrikes conducted by the Pakistani military in southeastern Afghanistan. An official reported the casualties on Monday, detailing the impact of the attacks in the Paktika, Paktia, and Kunar provinces.
The Pakistani military stated that the operations were intelligence-based and targeted alleged militant hideouts. These actions were reportedly a response to recent cross-border attacks originating from Afghan territory. However, Afghan officials have strongly condemned the strikes, labeling them a violation of Afghan sovereignty and international law.
