The UN said Pakistani airstrikes in Afghanistan killed at least 28 civilians

The United Nations said Pakistani airstrikes inside Afghanistan killed at least 28 civilians, escalating security tensions along the Pakistan-Afghanistan border. Pakistan has long accused cross-border armed groups of using Afghan territory to launch attacks, while Afghan authorities oppose military action across the border. As civilian casualty numbers rise, the episode could widen from a security issue into a sovereignty dispute, refugee pressure and a regional diplomatic crisis.
