'Double standards': Pak rejects UN report on civilian casualties in Afghanistan strikes
Pakistan's military has dismissed a United Nations report that documented civilian casualties resulting from cross-border fighting with Afghanistan, claiming its forces only targeted Taliban hideouts and militant infrastructure. Lt Gen Ahmad Sharif Chaudhry, Pakistan's military spokesman, dismissed the findings as "baseless" and maintained that Pakistani forces did not deliberately target civilians during operations against the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP).
The military spokesman argued that the operations were necessary to protect Pakistan from attacks originating across the border.
