One day after a suicide bomber attack in Pakistan’s Peshawar city, Pakistan launched an air attack on the country they blame for the bombing, Afghanistan. Pakistan hit targets along the border regions of Kunar and Paktika. The suicide bombing targeted a security facility. It killed three Pakistani soldiers and injured 11 others.
Pakistan strikes on neighbouring Afghanistan have killed 10 people – among them nine children – a Taliban government spokesperson has said, a day after a suicide attack on a security compound in Pakistan’s Peshawar city.
“The Pakistani invading forces bombed the house of a local civilian resident … As a result, nine children (five boys and four girls) and one woman were martyred” in Khost province, Zabihullah Mujahid said on X.
Air strikes targeting the border regions of Kunar and Paktika wounded another four civilians, he added.
Pakistan government officials and the military have not commented on the raids.
