Pakistani air and drone strikes hit multiple districts across at least five Afghan provinces — Khost, Kandahar, Paktia, Kunar, and Paktika — amid escalating cross-border tensions. UNAMA confirmed three civilians (a man, a woman, and a girl from the same family) were killed and four others wounded in Kunar. Homes were damaged in Paktia's Zazi Aryub district during a five-hour border exchange of fire between Taliban and Pakistani troops, prompting some residents to flee. Pakistan acknowledged striking 10 locations inside Afghanistan, claiming they targeted militant infrastructure linked to alleged drone attacks from Afghan territory.
