Afghan officials say Pakistani airstrikes killed at least nine women and children and wounded 11 other people, according to Al Jazeera.
The report attributed the casualty figures to Afghan officials without specifying the precise location of the strikes or the date on which they occurred.
Rising tensions along the border
Al Jazeera's report did not include a response from Pakistani authorities regarding the claims or clarify what military objective, if any, the strikes were said to be targeting. Cross-border tensions between Afghanistan and Pakistan have periodically escalated in recent years, with both sides at times accusing the other of harboring or failing to act against armed groups operating near their shared border.
The report did not specify whether the Afghan Taliban administration, which has governed the country since 2021, had issued any formal response or protest to Islamabad over the strikes.
It was not immediately clear from the report whether the incident would affect broader diplomatic relations between the two neighboring countries, which have fluctuated in recent years amid disputes over militant activity, trade and border security.
