Afghanistan's Taliban has targeted a number of points in neighbouring Pakistan, Kabul's defence ministry said Saturday, in what seems to be a response to an aerial bombardment carried out by Pakistani aircraft on Afghan territory a few days ago.

On Wednesday, the Pakistani military said security forces killed 13 insurgents in an overnight operation in an intelligence-based operation in South Waziristan.

Officials say rare Pakistani airstrikes have targeted multiple suspected hideouts of the Pakistani Taliban inside neighboring Afghanistan, dismantling a training facility and killing some insurgents.

Afghan Taliban forces targeted "several points" in neighbouring Pakistan, Afghanistan's defence ministry said on Saturday, days after Pakistani aircraft carried out aerial bombardment inside Afghanistan.

Afghan Taliban forces have targeted “several locations” in neighboring Pakistan. This comes a few days after Pakistani planes carried out strikes on camps in Afghanistan, according to Reuters and France 24.

A Pakistan paramilitary soldier was killed and 11 others injured when Afghan Taliban forces fired on Pakistani border posts in Upper Kurram district. The clash followed Pakistan’s strikes against TTP militants in Afghanistan.

Afghanistan’s Defence Ministry said on Saturday that its forces hit several points inside Pakistan in retaliation for deadly air strikes last week. A pro-Taliban media outlet, Hurriyet Daily News, reported ministry sources as saying that the strikes killed 19 Pakistani troops and that three Afghan civilians died in the violence.
