India condemns Pakistani airstrikes on Afghanistan

New Delhi has accused Islamabad of externalizing its internal failures by attacking its neighbor

India has condemned Pakistan over its airstrikes in neighboring Afghanistan that reportedly killed at least 18 people and left several others injured.

The attack, which Islamabad defended as a “retributive response” to a recent suicide bombing, was carried out in the early hours of Sunday in the eastern Afghan provinces of Nangarhar and Paktika.
