Pakistan carried out air strikes on 10 locations in Afghanistan on Thursday, saying it targeted sites used to store and launch drones after an alleged attack on a Pakistani border post.

Pakistan said the operation was “strictly limited to identified military objectives” and described the strikes as retaliation for a drone attack by Afghanistan’s Taliban forces.

A Taliban government spokesman denied that Afghan forces carried out the alleged drone attack. Kabul said the Pakistani strikes hit Afghanistan’s southern and eastern provinces and killed four civilians. The Afghan government vowed to respond.
