Clashes between Pakistan and Afghanistan have intensified, with explosions reported in the Afghan capital, Kabul, on March 1. The Taliban government said it had thwarted a Pakistani airstrike targeting the Bagram airfield, a former US base, according to multiple reports.
Several Pakistani fighter jets attempted to bomb the site early on March 1, The New York Times reported, citing Fazal Rahim Meskinyar, a spokesman for Parwan Province police. Afghan anti-aircraft systems intercepted the missiles and no casualties were reported, he said.
