Hundreds of mourners gathered in eastern Afghanistan to bury civilians killed in Pakistani airstrikes, Afghan authorities said, with the death toll including 11 children among 13 total fatalities. Pakistan stated its forces had targeted militant hideouts in the strikes, which shattered a period of relative calm lasting roughly a month. Reports also indicate that Indian miners working in the region are among those unaccounted for following the attacks, raising concerns about the safety of foreign nationals in the conflict zone.
