We show you our most important and recent visitors news details Pakistan says Afghan drones intercepted, four injured including two children in the following article
The Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), the media wing of the Pakistan Army, said the “Afghan Taliban” launched several rudimentary drones Friday “to harass the people of Pakistan.”
The military said the drones were intercepted through soft- and hard-kill measures and did not reach their intended targets.
Two of the injured were children in the southwestern city of Quetta in Balochistan, the military said.
A civilian was also injured in the Kohat district in the northwestern province of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, while another person was injured in the garrison city of Rawalpindi near the capital Islamabad.
“These attacks were aimed at inducing fear among the public and remind us of the terrorist mindset that drives the Afghan Taliban,” the military said in a statement.
Islamabad warned that the “Ghazab-lil-Haq” operation would continue until the Afghan Taliban address Pakistan’s core security concerns.
There was no immediate reaction from Kabul to the Pakistani statement.
The development came after Afghanistan’s Defense Ministry said Friday it retaliated against Pakistani airstrikes by targeting what it described as “strategic military centers and facilities” of the Pakistani army in the Kohat area of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
Earlier, Afghan officials said at least four people were killed and 15 others injured in new airstrikes they said were carried out by Pakistan and struck residential houses in Kabul.
Pakistan rejected the claim, saying its forces targeted “terrorist-affiliated installations” inside Afghanistan.
Information Minister Attaullah Tarar said Pakistan “precisely targeted only those installations which directly or indirectly support terrorism from inside Afghanistan and terrorist camps.”
“No civilian population or civilian infrastructure was targeted,” he said.
With the latest reported deaths in Afghanistan, the overall toll has risen to 99, including 13 soldiers and one civilian in Pakistan, and 13 soldiers and 72 civilians in Afghanistan.
According to United Nations data, 185 civilian casualties, including 56 deaths from indirect fire and aerial attacks, were reported in Afghanistan between Feb. 26 and March 5.
Relations between Afghanistan and Pakistan have deteriorated in recent weeks as border tensions escalated, causing casualties and property damage.
Pakistan accuses Afghanistan of providing safe haven to militants who carry out attacks inside its territory, while Kabul denies the allegations.
Tarar said Islamabad has killed 663 Afghan Taliban operatives and militants, while Kabul claims 55 Pakistani soldiers have been killed.
