This is the best summary I could come up with:
The Pakistani strikes came two days after insurgents killed seven soldiers in a suicide bombing and coordinated attack in northwestern Pakistan.
The defense ministry in Kabul said Afghan forces later on Monday “targeted Pakistan’s military centers along the border with heavy weapons,” without providing details.
The two Pakistani officials said mortars fired by the Afghan Taliban wounded four people and that some villagers in the northwestern Kurram district were moving to safer areas late Monday.
Separately, the Pakistani military said security forces carried out an operation Monday in North Waziristan near the Afghan border, killing eight militants linked to Saturday’s attack, but made no mention of the airstrikes inside Afghanistan.
The Afghan Taliban seized power in Afghanistan in 2021 as the U.S. and NATO troops were in the final stages of their pullout after 20 years of war.
Adding to the tensions between the two countries was a move by Islamabad last year to expel Afghans living in Pakistan without valid documents.
