Taliban regime in Afghanistan said today (Monday) that eight civilians - five women and three children - were killed in airstrikes by Pakistan. In response, the extremist organization's security forces responded with heavy fire at Pakistani forces.
The escalation between the neighboring countries occurs following an increase in the number of attacks in Pakistan, which claims that these come from the territory of Afghanistan. Pakistan's military said that "the latest wave of terrorism has the full support and assistance of Afghanistan," but did not mention any airstrikes.
