Afghanistan has launched retaliatory attacks on Pakistani border posts, a Taliban military spokesperson said on Thursday. The strikes were in response to recent Pakistani airstrikes targeting Afghan positions. The Taliban’s statement confirmed offensive operations against Pakistani military posts along the border.

Tensions have escalated between the two neighbors following the Pakistani airstrikes. However, details on the scale of the Afghan retaliation were not disclosed. Both sides have maintained a military presence along the disputed border areas.
