KABUL: Afghanistan's Taliban forces launched armed reprisals against Pakistani soldiers along the shared border on Saturday (Oct 11), accusing Islamabad of carrying out air strikes on its soil, senior officials from several provinces said Saturday.

On Thursday, two explosions were heard in the Afghan capital and another in the south-east of the country. The following day, the Taliban-run defence ministry blamed the attacks on Pakistan, accusing its neighbour of violating its sovereignty.
