At least three people have been killed in northeastern Afghanistan in Pakistani air raids, Afghan officials said.

Kunar provincial spokesperson Farid Dehqan told Al Jazeera that the air attack hit the Nurgal district at about 4am local time on Monday (23:30 GMT Sunday), killing three people and injuring four.

⁠Pakistan’s information ministry ⁠said that 28 “terrorists” were killed in ⁠air strikes on three ⁠targets ⁠in Afghanistan.

Taliban deputy spokesperson Hamdullah Fitrat said at least one house in Kunar, a mountainous province in northeastern Afghanistan, was hit in the attacks, killing three members of the same family and injuring four others,

“In the Barmal district of Paktika province, two locations were bombarded, destroying one shop and one unoccupied house, with no casualties reported,” he said.

The attacks threaten to reignite tensions between the neighbours after nearly three months of relative calm.

Relations between the former allies have been strained since February, when the two sides fought their worst clashes in years.

The dispute centres on violence in Pakistan, with Islamabad accusing Kabul of harbouring armed groups that stage cross-border attacks from Afghan territory.

Afghanistan’s Taliban government denies the charges and says the violence is Pakistan’s internal problem.

The air raids on Monday come days after a Pakistan Taliban faction said it carried out a bombing attack on a mosque at a police facility in Kohat, northwestern Pakistan. The blast and subsequent gun battle killed at least 21 people, mostly police officers, Pakistani officials said.

Pakistan’s Ministry of Information warned Saturday that the country could hit fighters inside Afghanistan in response to attacks in Pakistan. The ministry blamed the Kohat attack on fighters it said were based in Afghanistan.

阿富汗官员称，巴基斯坦空袭阿富汗东北部，造成至少三人死亡。

库纳尔省发言人法里德·德赫甘告诉半岛电视台，空袭发生在当地时间周一凌晨 4 点左右（格林尼治标准时间周日 23:30），袭击了努尔加尔区，造成 3 人死亡，4 人受伤。

巴基斯坦新闻部称，在对阿富汗三个目标的空袭中，28名“恐怖分子”被打死。

塔利班副发言人哈姆杜拉·菲特拉特表示，袭击中至少有一栋位于阿富汗东北部山区省份库纳尔的房屋遭到袭击，造成同一家庭的三名成员死亡，另有四人受伤。

他说：“在帕克蒂卡省巴尔马尔区，两处地点遭到轰炸，摧毁了一家商店和一栋无人居住的房屋，但没有人员伤亡报告。”

在经历了近三个月的相对平静之后，这些袭击事件有可能再次引发邻国之间的紧张局势。

自2月份双方爆发多年来最严重的冲突以来，这两个昔日盟友之间的关系一直很紧张。

这场争端的核心是巴基斯坦境内的暴力事件，伊斯兰堡指责喀布尔窝藏武装团体，这些团体从阿富汗领土发动跨境袭击。

阿富汗塔利班政府否认这些指控，并表示暴力事件是巴基斯坦的内部问题。

周一的空袭发生在巴基斯坦塔利班一个派系声称对巴基斯坦西北部科哈特市一座清真寺和警察设施发动炸弹袭击几天之后。巴基斯坦官员称，爆炸和随后的枪战造成至少21人死亡，其中大部分是警察。

巴基斯坦新闻部周六警告称，为回应巴基斯坦境内发生的袭击事件，该国可能对阿富汗境内的武装分子发动打击。该部指责科哈特袭击事件是由据称藏身阿富汗的武装分子所为。
