Pakistan launches deadly air strikes in Afghanistan, reigniting tensions
Information Minister Attaullah Tarar said on Wednesday that four targets had been destroyed in "calibrated strikes" that had killed 26 militants. Afghanistan's Taliban government earlier said 13 people, including 11 children, were killed in Pakistani strikes in three provinces.
Pakistan has long accused Afghanistan of harbouring terrorists who carry out attacks on Pakistani soil, a claim the Taliban government rejects.
The latest escalation is the first since February, when fighting at the border left hundreds dead.
The two countries had agreed a ceasefire last October following weeks of deadly clashes.
