KABUL, Feb. 22 (Xinhua) — Afghan government spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid confirmed on social media platform X on Sunday that Pakistani forces again carried out airstrikes in the border areas of Afghanistan and Pakistan, killing dozens of people, including women and children.

Z. Mujahid stated that Pakistani forces bombed civilian areas in the Afghan provinces of Nangarhar and Paktika.

In a statement, the Afghan Ministry of Defense strongly condemned what it called a flagrant violation and criminal act against Afghan territory, saying these actions violate international law and the principles of good neighborliness.

Pakistan's Ministry of Information and Broadcasting said on Sunday morning that following a series of suicide bombings, Pakistan had carried out targeted strikes on seven militant camps along the Pakistan-Afghan border based on intelligence inputs.

Since October of last year, there have been repeated clashes in the border regions of Afghanistan and Pakistan. On October 19 of last year, the parties agreed to a ceasefire brokered by Qatar and Turkey.

Subsequently, several rounds of negotiations were held in Doha, Istanbul and Riyadh to ensure the sustainability of the ceasefire, but no results were achieved. –0–
