Pakistan says it killed 28 militants, Afghan Taliban and UN report three civilian deaths

KABUL/ISLAMABAD, Sept 21 (Reuters) - Pakistan's government said on Monday that it launched airstrikes in the Afghanistan-Pakistan border region, killing at least 28 militants, with one security official saying two Afghan provinces were targeted. Hours earlier, Afghan Taliban officials accused Islamabad of killing at least three civilians in overnight airstrikes on Afghan territory. The UN Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA) confirmed the deaths of three civilians: a man, a woman and a girl. The attacks broke nearly three months of relative calm.
