  "textContent": "\n\n\n\nPakistan said on Sunday its forces had attacked military facilities in southern Afghanistan, as well as \"terrorist hideouts\", in the latest strikes between the two sides.\n\nSecurity sources said troops \"effectively destroyed technical support infrastructure and equipment storage facility in Kandahar\", which is home to the Taliban administration's supreme leader Hibatullah Akhundzada.\n\nAnother strike targeted a tunnel in Kandahar purportedly used by the Afghan Taliban and the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan or TTP, which Islamabad blames for a wave of strikes, they added.\n\nLocal residents in Kandahar told AFP they saw jet planes flying over the city and heard explosions during the night.\n\n\"Military planes flew over the mountain where there is a military facility, and an explosion followed,\" one said, adding flames could be seen.\n\nAn air strike was also heard in Spin Boldak, southeast of Kandahar, residents said, while authorities in the eastern border province of Khost said there were clashes on Saturday night.\n\nTaliban government spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid told AFP that the strikes caused some damage to a drug rehabilitation center and an empty container in Kandahar.\n\n\"The places they are talking about are far away from these two places,\" he added.\n\nPakistan said on Saturday it had thwarted \"drone attacks\" launched by Afghanistan which were intercepted on Friday night.\n\nAt least three locations were targeted, including the Pakistani military headquarters in Rawalpindi, near the capital Islamabad, authorities said.\n\nPakistan President Asif Ali Zardari's office said the Afghan Taliban had \"crossed a red line\" by targeting civilians, and promised a response.\n\nIslamabad launched a military operation against Afghanistan last month, targeting what it said were extremists following attacks in Pakistan.\n\nThe Taliban government has denied any involvement or the use of Afghan territory for militancy, while Pakistan insists it does not target civilians.\n\nThere have been repeated clashes at the border in recent weeks, hampering trade and forcing nearby residents to leave their homes.\n\nThe UN mission in Afghanistan said on Friday that at least 75 civilians have been killed and 193 injured in Afghanistan as a result of the clashes since February 26.",
