Precision strikes target Taliban depot in KabulThe Pakistani armed forces carried out precision strikes on "military installations and terrorist support infrastructure" in Kabul and struck Afghan Taliban and Fitna al-Khawarij positions across the border in the Kurram and Bajaur sectors on Monday. The information ministry in Islamabad said the military targeted locations in the Afghan capital and the eastern border province of Nangarhar. The ministry vehemently rejected claims by the Kabul regime that the strikes hit a drug treatment centre, killing civilians. The sources dismissed as "ridiculous" a statement by Afghan Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid claiming that a drug hospital had been targeted in Kabul. The sources said the army launched a major operation target-ing Afghan Taliban posts located close to the border.
