Afghanistan claims cross-border strikes in Pakistan

Afghanistan's Taliban government claims its forces conducted airstrikes on militant hideouts in Pakistan's Balochistan and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa provinces. Islamabad vehemently denies this, stating only a drone entered its airspace and was intercepted. This latest exchange escalates tensions, with both nations blaming each other for cross-border militancy and recent deadly incidents, despite Chinese mediation efforts.
