Pakistan has been accused of carrying out "double-tap" strikes on homes and mosques in Afghanistan, with rescuers reportedly killed when they rushed to help victims after the initial attacks. According to reports, the first airstrikes hit civilian areas, while follow-up strikes targeted the same locations minutes later, causing more casualties among emergency responders and residents. Afghan officials and rights groups said the attacks killed dozens, including children. Pakistan has maintained that its operations targeted militant hideouts and denied intentionally striking civilians. The allegations have sparked fresh concerns over civilian safety and the conduct of cross-border military operations. (PC: NDTV)
