Tensions are rising again between Afghanistan and Pakistan after the Taliban regime said it carried out strikes along their shared border, injuring several people. This follows Pakistan's own airstrikes on Afghanistan on Sunday, which the UN said killed at least 28 civilians. Both countries accuse each other of harbouring militants and carrying out unprovoked attacks.
