Pakistan’s military attacked civilian areas in Afghanistan, killing three, according to the Taliban leadership in Kabul and raising the risk of renewed cross-border hostilities."Last night, once again, Pakistani invading forces bombed civilian areas in Afghanistan’s Kunar and Paktika provinces," Zabihullah Mujahid, a spokesman for the Taliban regime in Kabul, said in a post on X, on Monday. The bombing left three people dead and four injured, he added. The incident has heightened tensions between Pakistan and Afghanistan, with the Taliban condemning the strikes as violations of sovereignty.

No official response has yet been issued by Pakistan’s military or government regarding the allegations. The attacks occurred in the eastern provinces of Kunar and Paktika, regions historically prone to militant activity and border skirmishes. International observers warn that repeated incursions could destabilize the fragile security situation along the Durand Line.

The Taliban has called for restraint and urged Pakistan to cease such actions to prevent further escalation. Both countries have previously engaged in sporadic clashes over border security and militant sanctuaries.
