Pakistan conducted a series of airstrikes on the Barmal district of Paktika province in Afghanistan which resulted in the death of at least 15 people, including women and children, with the toll expected to rise.
The strike was conducted on the night of December 24 and targeted seven villages, including Laman, where five members of a family were killed, as reported by Khaama Press. Local sources have claimed that Pakistani jets conducted the bombings.
