Afghanistan Protests Pakistan Airstrikes Amid Cross-Border Violence Concerns
Afghanistan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs summoned Pakistan's Charge d'Affaires to protest airstrikes in Kunar and Paktika provinces, citing violations of Afghan sovereignty and civilian casualties. Pakistan claims the strikes targeted militants, killing 28, while Kabul disputes this, reporting three civilian deaths and calling Pakistan's claims baseless. The UN has recorded over 1,100 civilian deaths from cross-border violence in Afghanistan this year, highlighting ongoing tensions between the two countries.
