Firefights broke out along the Pakistan-Afghanistan border late on Saturday, with the Afghan Taliban attacking Pakistani posts, according to security officials from both countries, following a Pakistani airstrike in Kabul this week.



Pakistani security officials said that they were responding "with full force" to what they called unprovoked firing from Afghanistan.



The exchange of fire took place at more than six locations along the border.



The Taliban forces said they captured three Pakistani border posts.



Pakistani security officials said their military had destroyed several Afghan posts.



Video footage shared by Pakistani security officials showed gun and artillery firing towards Afghanistan, lighting up the night sky.
