A Pakistani security official, speaking on the condition of anonymity, acknowledged that Pakistan attacked overnight, stating that their forces targeted the Pakistani Taliban group known as TTP.
Islamabad unleashed a wave of air strikes on its border last month, claiming the operation is aimed at combating militancy in response to rising attacks in Pakistan. The Taliban regime has denied any involvement or use of Afghan territory for militancy.
According to Khalil Zadran, a police spokesman in Kabul, four people were killed and 15 were injured in the bombardment of the capital's houses.According to Taliban government spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid, Pakistani strikes also targeted the southern province of Kandahar, home to the administration's supreme leader, as well as eastern Paktia and Paktika, which border Pakistan.
Pakistan claims it has not killed any civilians in the fighting. Casualty claims on both sides are difficult to independently verify.
In recent weeks, Afghan and Pakistani forces have battled at the border many times, disrupting trade and causing surrounding villagers to flee their homes.
According to the United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA), Pakistani military operations killed 56 civilians in Afghanistan, including 24 children, between February 26 and March 5.
According to the UN refugee agency, some 115,000 individuals have been forced to abandon their homes.
