Afghanistan hits a number of targets in Pakistan in retaliation for air strikes final week.
The Afghan Ministry of Defence says it has carried out a number of strikes in Pakistan in retaliation for an assault final week.
It’s the newest act in rising cross-border violence between the neighbours.
Pakistan says it was focusing on armed teams alongside its frontier. It says a number of assaults on its territory have been launched from Afghan soil – a cost Taliban officers in Kabul deny.
So does this imply border tensions between the 2 nations will proceed to escalate?
And the place does this depart the 300 million individuals on each side caught within the crossfire?
