The deputy spokesperson for the Taliban administration has announced that at least 36 civilians, including women and children, were killed and 163 others injured following last night\u2019s airstrikes by the Pakistan military on parts of Paktia, Paktika, and Kunar provinces. He noted that these figures are preliminary and subject to change.<\/p>\n
Mullah Hamdullah Fetrat stated that the highest casualties were recorded in the Tsamkani district of Paktia province, where a residential house was targeted by bombardment and the location where residents gathered to provide aid was subsequently hit by a second attack. According to the information provided, 28 people were killed and 158 others wounded in this incident.<\/p>\n
