“Sources told news agency that following the airstrikes in Khogyani district, Nangarhar province, Pakistani forces also carried out strikes in the province’s Ghani Khel district, Nangarhar province and Behsud district, Nangarhar province,” a Afghan news channel wrote on US social media platform X.
The reports went on to describe further aerial bombardments extending beyond Nangarhar. “Sources add that in Behsud district, the home of a civilian identified as Shahabuddin was targeted. Pakistani forces also conducted airstrikes tonight in Barmal district, Paktika province and Urgun district, Paktika province.”
Security officials cited in the coverage indicated that no fatalities were documented in the strikes affecting the Barmal and Urgun districts. In its Pashto-language reporting, the same broadcaster stated that a religious sermon site in Barmal district was also struck.
In another statement circulated on X, the outlet said, "The Pakistani military has confirmed carrying out strikes on Afghan territory, claiming that seven hideouts belonging to Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) and the Islamic State Khorasan Province (ISKP) were targeted."
Local authorities in Nangarhar provided further details regarding civilian impact.

Rescue teams managed to pull four individuals from the rubble, and search efforts were still underway at the time of reporting.
Meanwhile, Afghan government spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid addressed the situation on X, writing Sunday, “Certain Pakistani military circles have once again violated Afghan territory."
