Pakistan launched air strikes inside Afghanistan late Friday 17th October, killing at least 10 people and breaking a ceasefire that had brought two days of calm to the border, told Afghan officials to AFP.
The truce paused nearly a week of bloody border clashes 48-hour that killed dozens of troops and civilians on both sides.
A Taliban official told "Pakistan has broken the ceasefire and bombed three locations in Paktika" province. He also said "Afghanistan will retaliate."
Provincial hospital official told AFP on condition of anonymity Ten civilians were killed and 12 wounded in the strikes and also adding that two children were among the dead.
Islamabad said that same group had been involved in a suicide bombing and gun attack at a Pakistani military camp in the North Waziristan district that borders Afghanistan, which left seven Pakistani paramilitary troops dead earlier.
However Pakistan and Afghanistan agreed on Friday to extend their 48-hour ceasefire until the conclusion of talks in Doha, according to three Pakistani security officials and one Afghan Taliban source.
