KABUL, Afghanistan: Overnight Pakistan strikes on neighboring Afghanistan killed at least 10 people, the Taliban government spokesman said Tuesday.

“The Pakistani invading forces bombed the house of a local civilian resident... As a result, nine children (five boys and four girls) and one woman were martyred” in Khost province, spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid posted on X.

Air strikes targeting the border regions of Kunar and Paktika wounded another four civilians, he added.

There was no comment from the Pakistan government.

The bombardment follows an unclaimed suicide attack Monday against Pakistan security forces in a province bordering Afghanistan.
