Afghanistan says Pakistani strikes kill seven and wound 85 in first attack since peace talks

Afghan authorities reported that mortar and missile attacks originating from Pakistan on Monday resulted in the deaths of seven individuals and injured at least 85 others. The strikes reportedly hit a university and residential areas in Afghanistan's northeastern Kunar province. Pakistani officials have vehemently denied these claims, labeling reports of the attacks as a "blatant lie" and refuting any involvement in targeting educational institutions.

This incident escalates tensions between Afghanistan and Pakistan, potentially disrupting ongoing peace talks and regional stability.
