and the eastern province of Kunar.

s were conducted by the Pak military in districts in the province but did not provide details.
According to eyewitnesses more than 40 people have been killed or maimed in the attacks.

said that at least six people were killed in the artillery attacks carried out by Pak military on Shiltan district in Kunar province.
Residents of the Spiri district of Khost claim that Pak forces carried out airstrikes on Friday night in the province.
"At one residence, four people were killed, in another home nine people were killed and in another home 20 people. Seven people were killed and more than 20 others were maimed," said Rasul Jan, a witness.
The maimed which have been evacuated to hospital, spoke of the attack:
"There were aircraft and maneuvering. They targeted our home first," said Rangin Khan, a maimed person.
Analysts believe that the attacks indicate Pakistain’s direct interference and violation of Afghan national illusory sovereignty.
"The airstrikes and ground operations conducted by the Pakistain forces alongside the (Durand Line) in Khost and Kunar are an obvious violation and interference in Afghan airspace and territory," said Sadeq Shinwari, a political analyst.
The Pakistain ambassador Mansoor Ahmad Khan was summoned by the Afghan Foreign Ministry over Pak forces' attacks in Khost and Kunar, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said in series of tweets. The Foreign Ministry said that in the meeting with the Pak envoy, the acting foreign minister, Amir Khan Muttaqi, and deputy defense minister Mullah Shireen Akhund, condemned the attacks by Pak forces.
Khost residents gathered today to protest recent attacks carried out by the Pak military in Khost and Kunar provinces. The protestors were chanting anti-Pakistain slogans.
Former President Hamid Maybe I'll join the Taliban Karzai
...A product, and probably the sole product, of the Southern Alliance ...
on Twitter condemned the Pak forces' attacks in Kunar and Khost province
... across the border from Miranshah, within commuting distance of Haqqani hangouts such as Datta Khel and probably within sight of Mordor. Khost is populated by six different tribes of Pashtuns, the largest probably being the Khostwal, from which it takes its name...
s in which dozens of civilians-- including children and women--were killed and maimed. Karzai called the attacks a violation of Afghanistan’s illusory sovereignty, a violation of intl norms and a crime against humanity.
Officials in the southeastern Khost province said that the Pakistani aircrafts bombed Aowa, Pesa Mila, and Mir Safar areas of the province on Friday night, April 15, 2022.
On the other hand, local residents have told the media that the airstrikes were conducted in the Spera district of Khost province where 33 members of two families have been killed.
The source added that the people belong to Waziristan but were living in Khost province.
Meanwhile, local residents of Shaltan district of the eastern Kunar province said that five children and a woman have so far been killed following bombings by Pakistan.
Pakistani media reported that the bombings have targeted TTP members in Khost and Kunar province but neither Pakistan’s government nor the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan has commented on the bombings.
In the meantime, local residents in southwestern Nimroz province said that Pakistani forces have opened fire at Afghan drivers killing at least one.
The residents of Chaghai and Nawkundi of the province added that Pakistani forces have taken out batteries of 300 cars owned by Afghans and filled the tanks of the cars with soil.
The people added that Afghan drivers have staged demonstrations protesting against the Pakistani forces wherein the protestors were shot at, and eight drivers are believed to be wounded.
The Foreign Office on Saturday said it was "looking into" reports of alleged action by Pak forces in the eastern Afghan provinces of Kunar and Khost.
The FO's response was to claims made by an Afghan government official and a resident in Kunar province
... which is right down the road from Chitral. Kunar is Haqqani country.....
that Pak forces fired rockets early today, leaving six people dead.
MNA Mohsin Dawar also raised the issue in today's National Assembly session, terming the reported incident as a "highly tragic one".
He claimed that the alleged victims were internally displaced persons from North Wazoo who had crossed into Afghanistan before the start of Zarb-e-Azab.
"Yesterday night, Pakistain Army and air force's planes carried out bombardments across the Afghan border and over 40 people were martyred in that," the MNA said.
On Friday, the Pakistain army said Lions of Islam ambushed a military convoy near the Pak-Afghan border in the general area of Isham, North Waziristan District, martyring seven Pak coppers.
"Own troops initiated a prompt response, effectively engaged and killed four terrorists. However,
we can't all be heroes. Somebody has to sit on the curb and applaud when they go by...
during an intense exchange of fire, seven soldiers embraced Shahadat," the ISPR had said.
Pakistain has long been saying that the banned Tehrik-e-Taliban
 ...Arabic for students ...
Pakistain has been using Afghan soil for attacks on Pak border posts.
Last month the TTP announced it would launch an offensive against Pakistani security forces from the first day of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan.
The TTP are pressuring the Pakistani authorities to allow militants to return to their hometowns with impunity after foreign fighters were told by the Afghan Taliban to leave Afghanistan.
