The Pakistani attack was carried out after midnight in the Gurbuz district and targeted the local resident house of Waliat Khan. The strike completely destroyed Waliat Khan’s house, killing 10, said Mujahid.
Besides air strikes in Khost province, Pakistan carried out separate air strikes in Kunar and Paktika provinces the same night. In this air strikes 4 civilians were injured.
In a sharp escalation, the Taliban government said it would deliver an “appropriate” response to Pakistan “at the right time,” calling the overnight strikes a serious violation of Afghanistan’s sovereignty. “Defending its airspace, territory and people is its legitimate right,” Taliban spokesperson Zabihullah Mujahid said on X, adding that “nothing comes to the forefront except the failure and disgrace of Pakistan's military regime.”
Pakistan’s military and government have not issued any statement regarding the allegations so far.
Security forces quickly neutralised the attackers, and although no organisation claimed responsibility, suspicion has centred on the Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), according to AP reports.
Following the Peshawar attack, a Pakistani diplomat met a senior Afghan provincial leader to discuss rising security concerns along the border.
The latest strikes also come against the backdrop of heightened tensions between the two countries. More than a month earlier, Afghanistan had accused Pakistan of carrying out drone strikes in Kabul. A temporary ceasefire mediated by Qatar and Turkey in October remains formally intact, though neither country has commented on Tuesday’s developments.
Amid the renewed border tensions, Iran has also expressed willingness to help mediate between Afghanistan and Pakistan.
