Afghanistan says Pakistan air raids killed 13 people, including children

Afghanistan has accused Pakistan’s military of killing at least 13 people, most of them children, in air attacks on the provinces of Kunar, Khost and Paktika.

Zabihullah Mujahid, chief spokesman for Afghanistan’s Taliban government, said in a post on X that the victims of the attacks included 11 children, one woman and an elderly man.

He said 14 other women and children were wounded.

“We strongly condemn this humanitarian crime and act of aggression,” he added.

There was no immediate comment on the strikes from Pakistan.

Islamabad has previously claimed attacks in Afghanistan, saying it targeted fighters from the Pakistan Taliban, known by the acronym TTP.
