There has been no official confirmation from either country involved.<\/p>\n

The Afghan government<\/a> said on Thursday that it would deliver an \u201cappropriate response\u201d to Pakistani air attacks on 10 locations in Afghanistan earlier in the day.<\/p>\n

The strikes were in response to a \u201cdeliberate and unlawful incursion into Pakistan by drones\u201d on Wednesday, Pakistani Information Minister Attaullah Tarar said on Thursday.<\/p>\n

Tarar said in a post on his X account that Pakistan\u2019s aerial and drone attacks hit \u201cterrorist hideouts and support infrastructure including drone launching and storage sites\u201d.<\/p>\n

He also posted a video said to show the military strikes on the Afghan sites.<\/p>\n

Afghanistan\u2019s government spokesperson Zabihullah Mujahid said the air strikes targeted Kandahar, Paktia and Khost provinces.<\/p>\n

Taliban officials denied that their government launched drones against Pakistan on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

The air raids on Thursday were carried out amid growing tensions between the former allies over attacks by armed groups in Pakistan, which triggered their worst fighting in years in February.<\/p>\n

Islamabad accuses Kabul of harbouring fighters who stage cross-border attacks, but Afghanistan\u2019s government denies harbouring anti-Pakistani armed groups and says the attacks are Pakistan\u2019s internal problem.<\/p>\n

The escalation threatens mediation efforts by China, Turkiye, Qatar and Saudi Arabia to broker a lasting peace between the two neighbours.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
