At least 13 civilians were killed and seven others injured in Pakistani airstrikes in Afghanistan, the United Nations said amid an escalation in the armed conflict between the two neighbours.
The United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (Unama) said it has “credible reports” that overnight Pakistani attacks targeted civilian areas in the Behsud and Khogyani districts of Nangarhar province in the country’s eastern region, killing and injuring 20 civilians.
