46 people from Afghanistan died in Pakistan's air strike, children and women were among the dead
Pakistan carried out air strikes on several Taliban hideouts in its neighboring country Afghanistan on Tuesday night. So far 46 people have been reported dead in this attack. Most of the people involved in this attack by Pakistan are children and women. This information has been given by Taliban government spokesperson Zabihullah Mujahid.
While Pakistani authorities have not officially confirmed the airstrike, security sources close to the military have suggested the attack targeted Taliban hideouts near the border.
46 people died
Initially, the death toll after the air strike was 15. But now the spokesperson of the Taliban government has informed that 46 people have died in this attack. Mostly children and women have been killed in the attack. It is believed that the death toll may increase further.
Tension between the Taliban and Afghanistan increased after the attack.
This attack was carried out by targeting Taliban hideouts near the border. This has happened amid increasing tension between Pakistan and Afghanistan. This attack has been carried out, especially given the presence of Pakistani terrorists in Afghanistan. Pakistan has accused the Afghan Taliban of sheltering TTP terrorists. The Taliban insists that it is not cooperating with the group.
Who were those who were attacked?
Those attacked in the airstrike were Waziristani refugee civilians who were displaced due to military operations in Pakistan's tribal areas. However, Pakistan says that many TTP commanders and fighters have fled to Afghanistan where they are reportedly being protected by the Afghan Taliban in border provinces. Tensions have been rising between Pakistan and the Afghan Taliban for some time due to the presence of TTP militants in Afghanistan.
