Amu: Pakistan carried out airstrikes in eastern Afghanistan on Saturday night, targeting what it described as militant camps near the border, as local sources reported strikes in several districts of Nangarhar and Paktika provinces. In a statement dated Feb. 21, Pakistan’s Foreign Ministry said the strikes were a “retributive response” to a string of recent suicide bombings inside Pakistan, including attacks at an Imam Bargah in Islamabad and in the northwestern districts of Bajaur and Bannu. Another bombing took place on Friday in Bannu during the holy month of Ramadan. Click here to read more (external link).
