ISLAMABAD: Tensions flared between Afghanistan and Pakistan on Tuesday as the Taliban accused Pakistani forces of air strikes in eastern Afghanistan, which killed 9 children and a woman, and injured four others.
There was no immediate comment from Islamabad. The bombardment followed a series of recent attacks in Pakistan, in which Islamabad says the militants came from Afghanistan.
Last month, dozens of people were killed in air strikes and ground fighting between the South Asian neighbors — their deadliest confrontation since the Afghan Taliban seized power in Kabul in 2021.
ACCUSATIONS AND COUNTER-ACCUSATIONS
Islamabad says that Pakistani militants are based in Afghanistan, from where they send attackers into Pakistan.
