KABUL—Eight civilians were killed Monday in “reckless” air strikes by Pakistan’s military in the border regions of Afghanistan, prompting Afghan forces to retaliate against Pakistani military outposts, Taliban officials said.
Afghanistan’s defense ministry said its border forces retaliated by targeting Pakistan’s military posts along the border with “heavy weapons.” The strikes prompted a call from the United States for Pakistan, once a key ally in its war against the Taliban in Afghanistan, to “exercise restraint”. “When the drone came first, we all, including women and children, left our homes and went into the trees on the mountainside, it was very cold as there was snow on the ground,” he told AFP.
A senior government official based in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, who asked not to be identified, told AFP that, despite repeated complaints, “Afghanistan does not seem to be taking the matter seriously”. It called on Pakistan’s new government to “not allow some circles to complicate the relationship between two neighboring Muslim countries” — an apparent reference to certain Pakistani military leaders.
