In a new military offensive in Afghanistan, Pakistan claimed the death of 28 militia members in shelling in response to two recent attacks on its territory, held by militants on the Afghan side of the border. However, Kabul accuses Islamabad of the death of three civilians killed and four injured during the night attacks, figures supported by the UN. The escalation threatens a calm of almost three months in cross-border tensions.
