Zabihullah Mujahid Says Pakistani Airstrikes Killed Nine Civilians in Kunar and Helmand

Afghan government spokesperson Zabihullah Mujahid said Pakistani airstrikes struck civilian homes in Kunar and Helmand provinces, killing nine civilians, including women and children, and injuring 11 others. He said three homes were destroyed in the strikes.

Mujahid condemned the strikes as an act of aggression and a violation of internationally accepted principles. Images emerging from Afghanistan appear to show damaged residential property and casualties following the strikes.

Pakistan has separately confirmed conducting airstrikes at two locations inside Afghanistan, but says the targets were militant camps and hideouts. Islamabad claims 22 militants were killed and says precautions were taken to prevent civilian casualties.

The casualty accounts from the Afghan and Pakistani sides have not been independently verified.
