KABUL – Pakistan air strikes in an eastern border province of Afghanistan killed 46 people, the Taliban government spokesman told AFP on Wednesday, as the
defense ministry vowed retaliation.
A defense ministry statement late Tuesday condemned the strikes, calling them “barbaric” and a “clear aggression”. He said a strike killed three people in another house and wounded several others, who were taken to hospital. The strike comes after the Pakistani Taliban — who are known as Tehreek–e-Taliban Pakistan and share a common ideology with their Afghan counterparts — last week claimed a raid on an army outpost near the border with Afghanistan, which Pakistani intelligence officials said killed 16 soldiers.
