The conflict between Pakistani forces and Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) escalated after Pakistan targeted the latter's suspected hideouts in neighbouring Afghanistan on Tuesday, and TTP vowing retaliation.

While Pakistan has not officially confirmed the airstrikes, AP quoted security officers as saying that the airstrikes in Barmal, Paktika destroyed a training facility and killed several militants.

Taliban's defence ministry, however, condemned the attack, and said that "Waziristani refugees" were among those targeted. It has vowed to retaliate saying that defending their land and sovereignty is their legitimate right.
