Overview
- The Foreign Office, which issued its response Saturday, called British envoy Richard Lindsay's social post about reported strikes in Kunar one-sided.
- Lindsay had shared a UN mission report that documented tens of civilians killed or injured in eastern Afghanistan and urged restraint and dialogue.
- Pakistan said cross-border attacks from Afghan territory have continued since a three-day Eid pause in March and reported 52 civilians killed and 84 injured inside Pakistan.
- Officials said Operation Ghazab lil-Haq is targeting Afghan Taliban posts and support sites and that multiple infiltration attempts were foiled, while denying Afghan claims of civilian casualties as unverified.
- The government also said there is no ceasefire in place, as local reports described recent shelling and deaths in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa that have disrupted daily life near the border.
