Breaking months of peace in the border region between Pakistan and Afghanistan, the Pakistan Air Force has carried out a heavy airstrike on Afghan border targets.
Pakistan has repeatedly accused Afghanistan of providing shelter to those who engage in terrorist activities on Pakistani soil. Pakistan’s Information Minister Ataullah Tarar has told the media that its strikes have destroyed four terrorist targets and killed 26 militants.
However, the Taliban government, which is in power in Afghanistan, has rejected Pakistan’s allegations.
Foreign media reports that 13 civilians, including 11 children, have been killed in the attacks.
