Afghan Govt Releases Fragment of MK-82 Bomb Guidance Kit Used in Pakistani Strike
At least three people were killed and four others injured after Pakistani airstrikes hit parts of northeastern Afghanistan early Monday, Afghan officials said. The strikes were reported in Nurgal district of Kunar province and Barmal district of Paktika province.
Taliban deputy spokesperson Hamdullah Fitrat said in a post on X:
“Unfortunately, once again today, at around 3:00 a.m., the Pakistani occupying military regime bombarded civilian homes and public property in Nurgal District of Kunar Province and Barmal District of Paktika Province, according to preliminary information, a civilian home belonging to a villager named Noor Ahmad in Pathan Village of Nurgal District was completely destroyed in the bombing, resulting in the martyrdom of three members of the family, including Noor Ahmad, and injuries to four other family members.
Among the martyrs and injured are two children and two women.
In Barmal District of Paktika, two locations in the Rakhah and Tor Kundi areas were bombarded, destroying one shop and one unoccupied house, with no casualties reported”.
The latest strikes came amid rising tensions between Pakistan and Afghanistan over terrorism. Pakistan has accused Afghanistan of allowing terrorists to use its territory to carry out attacks inside Pakistan. Kabul has denied the allegations and said the issue is Pakistan’s internal problem.
The strikes also came days after an attack on a police facility in northwestern Pakistan that killed at least 30 people including 16 security personnel. Pakistan has not yet responded regarding the airstrikes.
