Afghan Taliban forces targeted “several points” in neighboring Pakistan, Afghanistan’s defense ministry said on Saturday, days after Pakistani aircraft carried out aerial bombardment inside Afghanistan.

Afghan Taliban forces targeted multiple posts inside Pakistan near the border in retaliation for last week's deadly airstrikes, the Afghanistan Defence Ministry said. However, details about casualties or the nature of the strikes remain unclear.

Pakistan launched an operation targeting a training facility in Afghanistan’s eastern Paktika province, aiming to eliminate insurgents.
