Pakistan launches airstrikes on 10 drone-linked sites in Afghanistan

Pakistan said Thursday it had carried out airstrikes targeting ten sites in Afghanistan that it described as being used to store and launch drones toward Pakistan.

In a statement on X, Information Minister Attaullah Tarar said the strikes were "proportionate and strictly targeted" against military objectives linked to attempted attacks from Afghanistan.

Tarar added that Pakistani air defense systems detected and neutralized drones launched from Afghan territory on Wednesday before they reached their targets.
