Pakistan once again strikes Afghanistan’s Paktia province, civilian homes reported hit
Cross-border strikes were reported overnight in Afghanistan’s eastern Paktia province, where Pakistani forces were accused of carrying out attacks in the Samkani district.
Radio Television Afghanistan reported on Wednesday, March 4, that the strikes occurred late the previous night, citing local sources.
According to the broadcaster, civilian homes were targeted during the operation, though independent verification of the claims has not been immediately available.
No detailed information has been released so far regarding casualties or the extent of material damage caused by the reported strikes.
Authorities in Kabul said that 110 civilians have been killed in Pakistani attacks on Afghanistan territory to date, accusing Islamabad of repeated violations.
Pakistan has said that more than 430 militant fighters were killed in its recent operations, describing them as counterterrorism measures.
Officials in Kabul have acknowledged the deaths of 28 of their fighters, disputing Pakistan’s higher casualty figures.
Tensions along the Afghanistan-Pakistan border have risen in recent months, with both sides exchanging accusations over armed group activity.
The differing casualty figures underline the absence of independent confirmation and reflect deepening mistrust between the two countries.
The latest reported strikes come as relations remain strained, fueling concerns about further instability along the shared frontier.
