The Pakistani military conducted air raids potentially killed dozens while targeting alleged Pakistani Taliban militants in the rural Paktika Province of Afghanistan Tuesday night.

Pakistan confirmed conducting airstrikes on militants' hideouts in Afghanistan, which led to the death of 46 people, including civilians. The Afghan leadership strongly condemned these strikes, labeling them as a violation of sovereignty.

Hamdullah Fitrat, the deputy spokesman for the Afghan government, said those killed in the strikes that targeted four locations in Barmal, were refugees, adding that six others were also wounded.
