A Taliban spokesman said 58 Pakistani military personnel had been killed in what it called "an act of retaliation". It claimed Pakistan had violated Afghan airspace and bombed a market inside its border on Thursday. Pakistan has disputed that figure, saying 23 of its armed forces' members had died and claiming that "200 Taliban and affiliated terrorists have been neutralized". Pakistan's Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi said the Afghan attacks were "unprovoked" and civilians were fired at, warning that his country's forces would respond "with a stone for every brick". Islamabad has accused Kabul of harbouring terrorists who target Pakistan on its soil, a claim the Taliban government rejected. Both the Afghan and Pakistani sides are said to have used small arms and artillery in the Kunar-Kurram region, the BBC understands. At a press conference on Sunday, Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid said in addition to the 58 Pakistani military deaths, around 30 others had been wounded. He added that nine Taliban fighters had died and between 16 and 18 people had been injured. Pakistan Armed Forces said 29 of its soldiers had been injured, and the number of wounded Taliban and "affiliated" fighters was in the hundreds. Afghanistan’s foreign minister said in a press conference in New Delhi that "we have no problems" with Pakistan's people and its leadership but added "there are some groups in Pakistan that are trying to spoil the situation. Afghanistan has a right to keep its territory and its borders safe, and so it has retaliated to the violation." (BBC)
