Pakistan carries out airstrikes in eastern Afghanistan overnight, according to Islamabad, which says the operations target militants. The strikes follow an attack in Karachi, which Pakistani authorities cite as the trigger for the action. Afghan officials and the Afghan government report significant civilian harm, saying dozens of civilians are killed. The two accounts agree that Pakistan presents the strikes as part of an effort to hit militant groups, while Afghanistan reports a high civilian death toll. Both sources describe the operations as airstrikes conducted in eastern Afghanistan and frame them as retaliation or enforcement linked to the Karachi attack. The reports do not provide further detail in these excerpts on the specific locations struck, the militant targets claimed by Pakistan, or any verification by independent parties. The overall picture across sources is that Pakistan takes military action across the border, citing counterterrorism aims, while Afghanistan highlights civilian casualties resulting from the strikes.
