"Footage of reported strikes by Pakistan on Afghan border regions was seen in footage aired by Pakistani Television (PTV) on Friday. Afghanistan-Pakistan escalation ramped up on Thursday, following months of tensions, with both countries launching cross-border strikes and casualties reported. Afghanistan launched what it called a 'major offensive' on Pakistan military posts near the border on Thursday, which the Taliban government said was a response to deadly airstrikes earlier this month which reportedly killed at least 13 people. Pakistan, which said those earlier attacks were on 'militants' who were being 'suicide attacks', carried out airstrikes on the capital Kabul and two other provinces over Thursday night and into Friday. Pakistan also claims that Kabul harbours Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) militants, which the Taliban government strongly denies. "
