Pakistan continuing military operations against Afghanistan, Pakistan foreign ministry says

ISLAMABAD, March ‌26 (Reuters) - Pakistan is ​continuing military operations against Afghanistan ⁠after the end of a temporary pause announced ​for the Islamic festival ‌of Eid-al-Fitr, the spokesperson of Pakistan's foreign ministry said ⁠on Thursday.

Fighting between ⁠the allies-turned-foes started last month, with Kabul saying more than 400 people ‌were killed in a ⁠Pakistani air strike ‌on a ​drug rehabilitation centre in the Afghan capital last ‌week before the ​neighbours suspended ⁠fighting.

Pakistan rejected the Taliban's ‌statements about ⁠the strike, saying it had "precisely targeted military installations and ​terrorist ‌support infrastructure".
