Pakistan carries out airstrikes across Afghanistan border targeting 'militant hideouts'

Pakistan carried out airstrikes early Sunday along its border with Afghanistan, targeting what officials described as militant hideouts. The government said the action was taken in response to recent deadly attacks inside Pakistan. Information Minister Attaullah Tarar said the military conducted “intelligence-based and selective operations.” According to him, seven camps linked to Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) were targeted. The TTP is a Pakistani militant group that has claimed responsibility for many attacks in the country.
