The split, in one line
Pakistan frames airstrikes as precision strikes against terrorist camps; UN documents 28 civilian deaths while Taliban claims 38 killed. Coverage now splits between security justification narratives and documented civilian toll, with independent verification challenging Pakistani claims. Afghanistan's counterclaim of retaliatory strikes adds regional escalation dimension.
