KABUL (Reuters) – Afghan Taliban forces targeted “several points” in neighbouring Pakistan in retaliation for Pakistani airstrikes earlier this week, Afghanistan’s defence ministry said on Saturday.
The statement did not specify Pakistan but said the strikes were conducted “beyond the ‘hypothetical line’” – an expression used by Afghan authorities to refer to a border with Pakistan that they have long disputed.
