The United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA) has reported that at least 70 civilians were killed and 478 others injured as a result of attacks carried out by the Pakistani military in Afghanistan.
This is the highest number recorded by UNAMA since it began systematically documenting such incidents in 2011.

The deadliest day was 15 October, when clashes and airstrikes in Spin Boldak district of Kandahar, explosions in Kabul, and incidents in Khost and Paktika resulted in 35 deaths and 422 injuries.
Although a ceasefire was announced on the evening of 15 October, UNAMA documented further incidents in the following days, including an attack on 17 October in Paktika’s Urgun district that claimed the lives of 11 civilians.
