Afghanistan attacked several targets in Pakistan last week in retaliation for airstrikes.
The Afghan Defense Ministry said it had carried out several strikes in Pakistan in retaliation for an attack last week.
It is the latest act of growth cross-border violence between the neighbors.
Pakistan says it has targeted armed groups along its border. It says several attacks on its territory were launched from Afghan soil – an allegation Taliban officials in Kabul deny.
So does this mean that border tensions between the two countries will continue to escalate?
And where are the 300 million people on both sides who are caught in the crossfire?
