has risen to at least 47, officials said on Sunday.

Two other officials confirmed the death toll in
Khost, while an Afghan official said on Saturday six people were killed in
Kunar province.
The Pakistani military has so far not offered any
comment on the strikes, but on Sunday the foreign ministry in Islamabad urged
the Taliban authorities in Kabul to take “stern actions” against militants
launching attacks against Pakistan from Afghan soil.
Border tensions
between Pakistan and Afghanistan have risen since the Taliban seized power last
year, with Islamabad claiming militant groups are carrying out regular attacks
from Afghan soil.
The Taliban deny harboring Pakistani militants, but are also
infuriated by a fence Islamabad is erecting along their 2,700km border.
