Pakistan Minister Says Country in Open War with Afghanistan

Pakistan's defence minister has said the country is in "open war" with Afghanistan, after Islamabad launched air strikes on Kabul as part of a wave of attacks across the country.

The strikes came after the Afghan Taliban announced a major offensive against Pakistani military posts near the border on Thursday night.


The latest attacks follow months of clashes between the two neighbouring nations, despite agreeing to a fragile ceasefire in October.


Last year's negotiations failed to reach a broader agreement for a complete end to hostilities, with both sides blaming each other for not engaging seriously with talks.
