The Afghan defence ministry says it carried out precision airstrikes on key Pakistani military facilities, as clashes between the two sides show no signs of easing. Here’s how the attack unfolded

Clashes between Pakistan and Afghanistan have intensified, with explosions reported in the Afghan capital, Kabul, on March 1. The Taliban government said it had thwarted a Pakistani airstrike targeting the Bagram airfield, a former US base, according to multiple reports.

Several Pakistani fighter jets attempted to bomb the site early on March 1, The New York Times reported, citing Fazal Rahim Meskinyar, a spokesman for Parwan Province police. Afghan anti-aircraft systems intercepted the missiles and no casualties were reported, he said.
