Radio Television Afghanistan reported on Wednesday, March 4, that the strikes occurred late the previous night, citing local sources.
According to the broadcaster, civilian homes were targeted during the operation, though independent verification of the claims has not been immediately available.
No detailed information has been released so far regarding casualties or the extent of material damage caused by the reported strikes.
Authorities in Kabul said that 110 civilians have been killed in Pak attacks on Afghanistan territory to date, accusing Islamabad of repeated violations.
Pakistain has said that more than 430 bully boy fighters were killed in its recent operations, describing them as counterterrorism measures.
Officials in Kabul have acknowledged the deaths of 28 of their fighters, disputing Pakistain’s higher casualty figures.
Tensions along the Afghanistan-Pakistain border have risen in recent months, with both sides exchanging accusations over gang activity.
The differing casualty figures underline the absence of independent confirmation and reflect deepening mistrust between the two countries.
The latest reported strikes come as relations remain strained, fueling concerns about further instability along the shared frontier.
