KABUL, June 29 (Xinhua) -- Afghan government spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid said on X early Monday that eastern areas of Afghanistan bordering Pakistan had come under Pakistani airstrikes the previous night, resulting in casualties.

According to Mujahid, the Pakistani military carried out airstrikes on Gayan District in Paktika Province, Tsamkani District in Paktia Province, and Manogai District in Kunar Province.

He said the strikes caused dozens of civilian casualties, including women and children.

Mujahid also strongly condemned what he described as a "cowardly act of aggression," calling it "a crime and an act of brutality."
