One development in Pakistan airstrikes in Afghanistan
Pakistan carried out airstrikes in Afghanistan on Thursday night. At least nine people were reported killed, marking a direct cross-border escalation with civilian risk.
The conflict was sparked again after a series of attacks on Pakistani security forces. On September 18, an attack on a police compound in the northwestern city of Kohat resulted in the deaths of 31 people and more than 100 injured. A splinter group belonging to the Pakistani Taliban, also known as Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan, or TTP, claimed responsibility for the attack in Kohat, in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, bordering Afghanistan.
