'My sister was severely injured' - Wounded Afghans transferred to Nangarhar Hospital amid Pakistan escalation

"Several injured Afghans were seen being taken to the Nangarhar Regional Specialization Hospital in Jalalabad city for treatment after sustaining injuries in the Afghanistan-Pakistan military escalation in border areas, including the Torkham region. Footage on Thursday shows people receiving treatment at the hospital as worried relatives sat by their side. "When we were having iftar, a fight broke out between Afghan and Pakistani forces," stated Basit Khan, a relative of one of the injured. "After that, heavy gunfire came at us, and a shell landed directly inside our tent. My wife was hit in the arm and was injured, and my sister was severely injured, the doctors told me that her health condition is not very good." At time of publication, the Pakistan army alleged 274 'Taliban fighters' had been killed - and 12 Pakistani soldiers. Afghanistan’s defence ministry said that 55 Pakistani soldiers had been killed, along with eight Afghan soldiers. It comes after months of tensions, with both sides trading cross-border fire that left multiple casualties. 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. 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. "
