Pakistan carries out airstrikes in Afghanistan, dozens reported killed

Pakistan has conducted a series of airstrikes inside Afghanistan. The strikes targeted what Pakistan says are militant hideouts along the border, with security sources claiming to have killed 'more than 80' or at least 70 fighters from the Pakistani Taliban.

Afghanistan's Taliban government says the strikes killed and wounded dozens of people, including children. The action follows a recent surge in attacks within Pakistan that Islamabad blames on militants operating from Afghan soil.
