Afghan Taliban forces targeted “several points” in neighboring Pakistan, Afghanistan’s defense ministry said on Saturday, days after Pakistani aircraft carried out aerial bombardment inside Afghanistan.

Taliban forces struck “several points” in Pakistan in retaliation for Pakistani attacks on Afghanistan. Border hostilities between the two countries have surged since the Afghan Taliban took power in 2021.

Based on the statement issued by the Taliban defence ministry, attacks were conducted "beyond the hypothetical line", which is a term often used to describe Pakistan.
