Afghanistan says its forces struck militant hideouts in Pakistan, but Islamabad denies the claim. This was reported by Qazaqyia.kz citing Reuters.

In a statement, the Afghan government said its military forces targeted militant hideouts in northwestern Pakistan. However, Pakistan's Foreign Ministry denied the claim, stating that Afghan forces did not operate on Pakistani soil.

The incident could further escalate tensions between the two countries, which have previously accused each other of supporting militants.
