Pakistan says its 'armed forces have given a befitting response' to Afghan Taliban

Pakistan's Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi said Friday that the strikes on Afghanistan were a "befitting response", as blasts and gunfire rang out in the cities of Kabul and Kandahar.

"Pakistan's armed forces have given a befitting response to the Afghan Taliban's open aggression," said Naqvi, hours after Afghan forces attacked Pakistani border troops in what the Taliban government said was retaliation for earlier deadly air strikes. - AFP
