Pakistan downs drones near Kohat after Kabul accuses Islamabad of deadly airstrikes

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan on Friday said it had downed multiple drones and conducted “precision strikes” against militant infrastructure inside Afghanistan, with the Taliban authorities saying the strikes had hit civilians and damaged infrastructure in capital Kabul and other border provinces. The latest exchange marks a sharp escalation in a conflict that began last month when Islamabad launched a sustained aerial campaign inside Afghanistan, saying it was targeting sanctuaries of the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), a militant group responsible for a surge in attacks within Pakistan.
