Pakistani airstrikes on civilian areas in three Afghan provinces kill 13

Zabihullah Mujahid, spokesman for the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan (IEA), said on Wednesday Pakistani military forces violated Afghanistan’s airspace overnight and carried out airstrikes on civilian homes in the eastern provinces of Kunar, Khost and Paktika.

According to Mujahid, the attacks killed 13 civilians, including 11 children, one woman and one elderly man. He said 14 other women and children were wounded in the strikes.

Mujahid condemned the attacks as a “humanitarian crime” and an “act of aggression,” accusing Pakistan of targeting civilian areas.
