Pakistan Airstrikes Kill Dozens in Afghanistan

The overnight operations targeted hideouts of Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan in Paktia province, according to Pakistani military sources.

Afghan government condemned the attacks as a violation of sovereignty, and the United Nations mission in Afghanistan confirmed at least 28 civilian casualties.

Tensions between the two neighbors have escalated sharply following a series of militant assaults inside Pakistan.

Families sifted through rubble of destroyed homes, mourning the dead and accusing Islamabad of indiscriminate bombing.
