The counter-attacks come amid escalating tensions along the border region. According to the



Ministry, the attacks took place on Thursday night in response to Pakistan’s strikes on Afghan territory, which killed women and children.

The retaliatory operation by Afghanistan forces targeted posts of Pakistani military forces in the east and southeast directions, across the Durand Line. During these operations, the Ministry said.
