A deputy spokesperson for the interim Taliban government’s defence ministry, Sadeequllah Nasrat, said the air force carried out air strikes on alleged Daesh camps inside Balochistan and the northwestern Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, inflicting “heavy casualties and material losses” on the terrorist group.
In a statement posted on X, Nasrat said the air strikes were carried out with “great precision” and resulted in no civilian casualties.
Relations between the two neighbours have been strained following multiple terrorist attacks in Pakistan in recent years, which have led to several border clashes.
Islamabad accuses Kabul of allowing terrorists to use its territory. Afghanistan denies the allegation.
