Pakistani air strikes hit a weapons depot on the western outskirts of Kabul, causing explosions that rattled homes and left residents fearing further violence. The strikes are part of a sharp escalation between Pakistan and Afghanistan's Taliban authorities, with both sides trading cross-border attacks and Pakistan describing the situation as open conflict.

Following months of tit-for-tat clashes, Afghan forces attacked Pakistani border troops on Thursday night in what the Taliban government said was retaliation for earlier deadly airstrikes. Hours later, at least three explosions were heard in Kabul, with both sides making different claims about the number of casualties and sites hit.
