Afghan officials said at least three people were killed in Pakistani air raids in northeastern Afghanistan, according to statements reported by Al Jazeera. The strikes reportedly hit the Nurgal district of Kunar province at about 4am local time on Monday.
Kunar provincial spokesperson Farid Dehqan told Al Jazeera that the air attack targeted the area, resulting in the deaths. No further details on casualties or damage were immediately available.
The reported strikes come amid heightened tensions between Afghanistan and Pakistan over cross-border militancy. Pakistan has not publicly confirmed the operation, and independent verification of the casualty figures was not immediately possible.
This is a developing story. Casualty figures and further details may be updated as more information becomes available.
