Kabul, May 5:
Three people were killed and 14 injured in fresh Pakistani military strikes on Afghanistan’s Dangam district in Kunar province, according to the Taliban administration.
Officials said the attacks also destroyed two schools, a clinic, and two mosques, and killed around 80 livestock. They claimed Pakistan has increasingly targeted civilian infrastructure, with 12 schools reportedly destroyed since the strikes began in the province.
The Taliban district governor alleged the strikes show Pakistan’s inability to carry out direct attacks, instead accusing it of hitting public facilities.
Kabul has strongly condemned the strikes, calling them a violation of Afghan airspace and territorial integrity, and lodged a formal protest with Pakistan.
Earlier, similar strikes reportedly killed seven people and injured dozens, including students at a university. Rising cross-border tensions have led to repeated exchanges of fire and accusations from both sides, while diplomatic efforts have so far failed to ease the escalating situation.
