Local authorities in Kabul said that at least four people were killed and 15 others injured as a result of the attacks.

According to Afghan officials, Pakistani military aircraft also struck fuel depots belonging to the private airline Kam Air near Kandahar Airport. The airline provides fuel supplies to civilian carriers as well as aircraft operated by the United Nations.

Fighting between the two countries intensified on February 26 when Afghanistan launched an offensive along their shared border in retaliation for earlier Pakistani air attacks on the Pakistan Taliban, just two days before the US and Israel attacked Iran.

Islamabad accuses Kabul of harbouring fighters from the Pakistan Taliban, which has claimed responsibility for a series of deadly attacks inside Pakistan, and from the ISIS (ISIL) affiliate in Khorasan province. Afghan authorities deny the charge.
