Pakistan conducted airstrikes on 10 locations in Afghanistan that it said were being used to launch and store drones, some of which had been used against Pakistan a day earlier, Information Minister Attaullah Tarar said on Thursday.
The strikes come as tensions escalate between the allies-turned-foes, who have long been at odds over attacks by Islamist militants, which also triggered their worst fighting in years in February.
Islamabad accuses Kabul of harbouring militants who stage cross-border attacks, but Afghanistan’s Taliban government denies harbouring anti-Pakistani insurgents and says militancy is Pakistan’s internal problem.
