The Taliban government spokesman said that Afghan forces had captured more than 15 Pakistani outposts in two hours.
“Dozens of (Pakistani) soldiers have been killed, and we have transferred 10 dead bodies to Kunar and other areas. There are also several wounded and caught alive,” Mr. Mujahid said.
However, a spokesman for Pakistan’s Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif said there were “no Pakistani posts captured or damaged”, adding its forces “inflicted heavy losses” across the border in retaliation.
An Afghan official reported multiple civilians wounded near the Torkham border crossing, at a camp for people returning from Pakistan.
