Taliban defense ministry said anti-aircraft fire was directed at Pakistani aircraft as clashes entered a fourth day.
The statement urged an immediate halt to military action as Iran and its adversaries continued exchanging fire.
The renewed fighting comes after days of escalating cross-border attacks and competing casualty claims.

The move followed criticism by Mohammad Mohaqiq of the Taliban’s recent retaliatory attacks against Pakistan.

Taliban intelligence officials have warned local outlets not to report from areas hit in recent airstrikes, according to media sources.
Taliban spokesman says clashes near key security offices were caused by defensive fire at Pakistani aircraft.
Residents reported loud explosions at the former US military hub; the Taliban have not commented.
Pakistan claimed that 331 Taliban members had been killed since the start of its military operation, as cross-border fighting continued.
