Pakistan carries out airstrikes in eastern Afghanistan provinces

Pakistani airstrikes targeted areas in the eastern Afghan provinces of Kunar and Paktika, reportedly killing at least three civilians and injuring four others. The strikes drew formal condemnation from India's Ministry of External Affairs, which stated the actions infringed on Afghan sovereignty and undermined regional stability. Pakistani authorities have not publicly confirmed the operational details or specific targets of the strikes.
