Pakistan says militants attempted drone attacks inside its territory, Afghanistan says carried out airstrikes

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan on Friday said militants attempted to launch small drones inside its territory, while Afghanistan’s ministry of defense claimed it had carried out retaliatory airstrikes in “various areas of Pakistan,” marking a sharp escalation in cross-border hostilities between the bitter neighbors. The developments follow Pakistani airstrikes earlier this week targeting what Islamabad said were Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) and Daesh militant camps inside Afghanistan.
