US EditionAfghan officials say Pakistani strikes killed 7 and wounded 85 in first attacks since peace talks
Pakistan-fired projectiles struck civilian areas in Kunar province, including a university and homes, killing seven and wounding 85, marking the first major attack since recent China-mediated peace talks.
- On Monday, mortar and missile strikes in Kunar Province killed 7 people and wounded 85, hitting civilian homes and the Sayed Jamaluddin Afghani University in Asadabad, Afghan officials said.
- The violence breaks fragile peace talks recently mediated by China in Urumqi, despite Afghan Foreign Minister Amir Khan Mutaqi calling earlier negotiations "positive" on Saturday.
- Pakistan's Information Ministry dismissed the reports as a "blatant lie," insisting military targeting is precise and denying any strike occurred on the university.
- The resumption of violence threatens fragile peace talks between the neighbors, following a recent shooting of a child by Pakistani military forces near Spin Boldak, reportedly triggering the new attacks.
- Security remains a sticking point, particularly Pakistan's demand that Afghanistan curb the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan armed group; tensions persist along the 2,640km Durand Line, where conflict has displaced 94,000 people.
