The Taliban have accused Pakistan of strikes that killed four people at a university, in the first Pakistani attacks on Afghanistan since peace talks between the sides in China earlier this month.
Hamdullah Fitrat, the Taliban’s deputy spokesperson, said on Monday that Pakistan “deliberately” struck “civilian residences” with artillery and rocket fire in the north-east border province of Kunar. He said the targeted sites included a university, where 30 students were injured.
Pakistan’s ministry of information and broadcasting rejected the accusation, writing in a post on social media platform X that the country did not strike a university and that all targeting was “precise and intelligence-based”.
