Pakistani military strikes on Afghanistan's Kunar province have resulted in at least seven deaths and 75 injuries, including women and children, in the provincial capital Asadabad and Sarkano district. The incident reflects escalating border tensions between Pakistan and Afghanistan with rising casualty figures.

Pakistan's opposition leader Mahmood Khan Achakzai has called for direct negotiations between Afghanistan and Pakistan, arguing that military threats undermine diplomatic efforts. His criticism comes as Pakistan's military reportedly carried out fresh cross-border strikes on Dangam district in Kunar province, killing three civilians and injuring 14 others—despite recent talks between Kabul and Islamabad described as positive.
