Afghanistan says Pakistani airstrikes in east of the country have killed 10 people, mostly children

Afghanistan’s Taliban government has accused Pakistan of launching overnight airstrikes in three eastern provinces, killing 10 civilians. The government's chief spokesperson has posted on X Tuesday that Pakistan “bombed” the home of a civilian in Khost province, killing nine children and a woman. He said additional strikes were carried out in the provinces of Kunar and Paktika, injuring four others. Pakistan’s military and government did not immediately comment on the allegation, which comes more than a month after cross-border clashes erupted when the Afghan government claimed Pakistani drone strikes hit Kabul.
