KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — Afghanistan’s Taliban government accused Pakistan’s military Friday of targeting homes in overnight airstrikes in Kabul and other areas of the country, saying at least six civilians were killed and more than a dozen injured, as fighting between the neighbors entered its third week.

Afghanistan said at least four people were killed in Pakistani strikes on the capital and other provinces. The Taliban’s spokesperson Zabihullah Mujahid said in a post on X Friday that strikes hit civilian homes resulting in the deaths of women and children.

Pakistan has launched air strikes on Afghanistan’s capital, Kabul, and other cities, as clashes escalate along the two countries’ shared border. On Friday, Pakistan’s Defence Minister Khawaja Asif said Islamabad’s patience had run out with the Taliban authorities in Afghanistan, declaring that the two countries are now at “open war”.

Pakistan’s president says Afghanistan’s Taliban government has crossed a red line by launching drones into Pakistan, and Pakistan has reportedly answered with airstrikes.

The Taliban defense ministry in Kabul, the Afghan capital, rejected Pakistan’s claim. A ministry spokesman said Afghan forces in the past 24 hours repelled Pakistani attacks, destroying about a dozen military posts and killing four Pakistani soldiers.

Pakistan's president on Saturday warned neighboring Afghanistan's Taliban government that it had "crossed a red line" by launching drone attacks on civilian areas in Pakistan, and hours later the country reportedly conducted strikes on an Afghan drone storage facility.
