Three civilians, comprising a man, a woman, and a girl, lost their lives due to Pakistani military airstrikes in Afghanistan, according to both Afghan officials and the United Nations. The incident occurred in Kunar province, with the UN Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA) confirming the fatalities. Pakistan's Ministry of Information reported that three targets near the Afghan border were struck during the operation on Sunday, resulting in 28 alleged terrorists being killed.
The strikes reportedly targeted hideouts of a Pakistani Taliban group located in border provinces, which is believed to be responsible for recent cross-border bombings. Taliban spokesperson Zabihullah Mujahid criticized the Pakistani strikes, declaring them an act of aggression and injustice, and vowed a response, accusing Pakistan's military of attempting to divert attention from internal security issues.
