Islamabad: Firefights broke out along the Pakistan-Afghanistan border late on Saturday as the Afghan Taliban attacked Pakistani posts, according to security officials from both countries, following a Pakistani airstrike in Kabul last week.

Pakistani security officials said that they were responding “with full force” to what they called unprovoked firing from Afghanistan. The exchange of fire took place at more than six locations along the border, they said.
