(Reuters) – Afghanistan’s ruling Taliban said on Monday that Pakistan carried out two air strikes inside Afghan territory, killing eight women and children.

A Taliban spokesman “strongly” condemned the strikes on Afghan soil, calling it a violation of the country’s sovereignty.

The Pakistan army and the foreign office did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
