Afghanistan has reported killing 58 Pakistani soldiers in overnight border operations in response to repeated violations of its territory and airspace.
Afghan authorities had previously accused Pakistan of bombing the capital Kabul and a market in the country's east, though Pakistan did not claim responsibility for the assault.
The situation on all official borders and de facto lines of Afghanistan is under complete control, and illegal activities have been largely prevented. - Zabihullah Mujahid, Taliban government's chief spokesman
The Taliban government's defence ministry stated that its forces conducted "retaliatory and successful operations" along the border.
