Pakistani aircraft carried out airstrikes on two locations in Kandahar province of Afghanistan overnight, according to a spokesperson for the Taliban government.
Zabihullah Mujahid said the strikes targeted two separate points in the province but did not cause any casualties.
According to Mujahid, one of the strikes damaged part of a drug addiction treatment hospital, while the other hit an empty container that had previously been used as a guard post.
He added that although the attacks did not result in casualties, Pakistan had violated Afghanistan’s airspace and warned that Islamabad would “see the response to its mischief and aggression.”
Meanwhile, State-run Pakistan Television on Sunday said, the strikes targeted a technical support infrastructure and an equipment storage facility.
The incident comes amid heightened tensions along the Afghanistan–Pakistan border.
Yesterday, officials in eastern Afghanistan’s Kunar province reported that Pakistani artillery shelling damaged a boys’ high school building in Dangam district and that more than 270 rockets and artillery rounds had been fired into the province over a 48-hour period, causing damage to homes and other buildings but no reported casualties.
Since 26 February, the United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA) saysit has recorded at least 75 civilians killed and 193 injured across Afghanistan as a result of ongoing armed clashes.
