Pakistan says it has carried out airstrikes on 10 locations in Afghanistan, citing that the sites were used to launch drone attacks against Pakistan. The action follows allegations of drone attacks directed at Pakistan’s border posts, which Pakistan says occurred the day before.
The three outlets report the same core sequence: Pakistan accuses Kabul or Afghanistan-based actors of attempting or carrying out drone attacks across the border, and then conducts strikes inside Afghanistan targeting multiple sites. While the outlets differ slightly in wording—referring to “drone attacks,” an “attempted cross-border drone attack,” or attacks on “border posts”—they do not present conflicting details about the number of sites struck or Pakistan’s stated justification. The reports focus on Pakistan’s account of the strikes rather than providing an independently verified breakdown of targets or outcomes.
