ISLAMABAD: Continued military action by Pakistan and Afghanistan against each other risks entrenching a “cycle of retaliation” rather than curbing militancy, analysts warned on Sunday, following Pakistan’s latest cross-border airstrikes in Afghanistan. Pakistan’s information ministry said the overnight strikes involved “intelligence-based selective targeting of seven terrorist camps” and described them as a retributive response to recent militant attacks inside Pakistan.

Pakistan targets militant hideouts along the Afghan border in response to a surge in deadly attacks, says Information Minister.

‘Intelligence-based, selective operations’ carried out against Pakistani Taliban camps, says information ministry

Afghan sources say the Pakistani strikes hit the border provinces of Paktika and Nangarhar.
