Pakistan's military rejects UN report alleging hundreds of civilian deaths in strikes on Afghanistan

Pakistan's military rejected a UN report claiming nearly 500 civilian deaths from its cross-border strikes in Afghanistan, asserting targets were militant hideouts used by the Pakistani Taliban (TTP). The UN and Amnesty International documented 499 killed and 1,216 wounded, while Pakistan accused Afghanistan's Taliban government of sheltering militants and criticized international groups for not documenting past coalition airstrikes.
