Pakistan says airstrikes target militant hideouts in Afghanistan, killing 28. Kabul says 3 killed
Pakistani jet fighters conducted airstrikes Monday on suspected militant hideouts in eastern Afghanistan, claiming 28 militants were killed. Kabul reported at least three civilians were killed in the strikes near the border. The escalation follows recent deadly attacks on Pakistani security forces near the border, raising the prospect of further cross-border hostilities and complicating efforts by regional countries to mediate between Islamabad and Kabul.
