Pakistan has said that air attacks on hideouts in Afghanistan killed 22 fighters, according to statements from Pakistani officials.
The government in Kabul has disputed the account of the strikes' impact, saying that the attacks on Kunar and Helmand provinces killed nine women and children, raising concerns about civilian casualties from the operation.
Conflicting accounts
The two sides have offered differing characterizations of the strikes, with Islamabad framing the attacks as targeting militant hideouts and Kabul emphasizing the toll on civilians. Neither account has been independently verified.
The strikes add to ongoing tension along the Pakistan-Afghanistan border, where cross-border military actions have periodically strained relations between the two governments.
