Airstrikes launched by Pakistan in Afghanistan have resulted in ten fatalities and nine injuries, officials said.
Pakistani military aircraft carried out airstrikes in Afghanistan, leaving ten people dead and nine others wounded, according to Afghan authorities. The strikes targeted an unspecified location near the border, and local officials confirmed the casualty figures early on Sunday.
The Afghan health ministry reported that the injured have been taken to nearby hospitals, where they are receiving emergency care. No group claimed responsibility for the attack, but Pakistani officials have not yet commented on the operation.
The incident adds to the already tense security situation along the Afghanistan‑Pakistan frontier, where cross‑border shelling and air raids have flared intermittently in recent months. International observers have urged both sides to exercise restraint to prevent further civilian harm.
The Afghan government has called for an urgent investigation and has appealed to the United Nations for assistance in documenting the impact of the strikes.
The situation remains fluid, and authorities are monitoring for any escalation that could affect regional stability.
