A Taliban police spokesman said on Friday that Pakistani airstrikes in Kabul overnight killed four civilians and wounded 15 others.
Khalid Zadran said the strikes hit residential houses in the city’s District 21.
Pakistani airstrikes also targeted areas in Kandahar, Paktia and Paktika provinces, according to Taliban spokesman.
Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid said some of the strikes hit residential areas, killing women and children, while others struck open land.
Mujahid condemned the attacks, describing them as a “crime and clear aggression,” and said the Taliban would respond.
He also criticized the timing of the strikes during the final days of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan and ahead of the Eid holiday.
In a separate statement, Mujahid said a fuel storage facility belonging to Kam Air near Kandahar airport was also hit in the strikes. He said the facility supplies fuel for civilian flights and United Nations aircraft.
He added that another commercial fuel depot, owned by a businessman identified as Haji Khanzada, had also been targeted earlier.
Pakistani officials have not commented on the claims.
Border clashes between Pakistani forces and the Taliban began on Feb. 26 and have since escalated into exchanges of artillery fire and airstrikes.
The United Nations says at least 56 civilians were killed in the violence by March 5 and more than 68,000 people were displaced.
Both sides have reported heavy military casualties, though the claims could not be independently verified. Taliban say 327 Pakistani soldiers have been killed, while Pakistani authorities say more than 580 Taliban fighters have died in the clashes.
