Pakistan carries out deadly airstrikes along Afghanistan border

The attacks on Monday were the latest flare-up of violence between the two countries, which fought a weeks-long war in February

Pakistan has said at least 25 people were killed in airstrikes it launched targeting militants in eastern Afghanistan, as the Afghan government reported dozens of civilian casualties.

Pakistan’s information minister, Attaullah Tarar, said the operations were aimed at a group that it blames for a deadly weekend attack in Karachi, although Afghan authorities have repeatedly denied their territory harbours militants.
