Pakistan strikes border targets in Afghanistan, 29 militants killed

Pakistani security forces have carried out an operation along the border with Afghanistan. 29 militia members were reported killed.

The attacks were aimed at hideouts and bases of what are called terrorists in the border area. A ground operation was followed by air strikes.

Pakistani Information Minister Attaullah Tarar wrote on Platform X that it was a response to a series of attacks on Pakistan. The incident comes a day after a regional military headquarters in the Pakistani port city of Karachi was attacked and three soldiers were killed.

Pakistan has repeatedly struck targets in Afghanistan as a result of the conflict that has flared up between the countries. The Pakistani government has accused the Afghan Taliban regime of supporting and harboring Pakistani resistance groups.
