The three fatalities occurred when an air strike targeted a dwelling in Kunar province, according to the Taliban official. The victims were members of the same household, though further details regarding their identities were not immediately available.
Kunar province, located in northeastern Afghanistan along the Pakistani border, has been a volatile region marked by frequent cross-border tensions and military operations. The province has historically served as a flashpoint for disputes between Afghan and Pakistani forces.
The allegation comes amid ongoing concerns about civilian casualties from air strikes in the region. International organizations have repeatedly documented incidents in which air operations have resulted in unintended civilian deaths across Afghanistan and the broader South Asian region.
A formal response from Pakistani authorities regarding the claim has not been issued. Incidents of this nature often require verification from independent sources, as competing narratives frequently emerge from different stakeholders involved in regional conflicts.
