Pakistan Accused of Airstrikes Targeting Afghan Refugees near Border as Tensions Escalate | News18
Fresh Pakistani airstrikes inside Afghanistan have triggered a new confrontation between Islamabad and the Taliban government, with Afghan officials accusing Pakistan of hitting civilian areas and shelters housing recently expelled Afghan refugees amid rapidly escalating tensions along the Durand Line.
The latest allegations come after Pakistan carried out two rounds of air operations inside Afghanistan within days. On September 21, Pakistani aircraft struck areas in Kunar and Paktika provinces. Islamabad said the operation targeted militant hideouts and claimed 28 militants were killed. Afghan authorities, however, reported civilian casualties, while the United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA) confirmed that three civilians – a man, a woman and a girl – were killed and four others injured in apparent airstrikes in Kunar.
