New Delhi:The Afghan Taliban today released footage of drone strikes at Pakistani border outposts as the two neighbours engaged in one of the deadliest conflicts in years.

Dozens of Pakistani soldiers have been killed and missing in action. The Afghan Taliban have also suffered losses.

A black and white footage released by the Afghan Taliban showed a drone dropping a small ordnance, likely a mortar round, on top of a rectangular structure that the Taliban claimed was a Pakistan outpost. The roof exploded on impact.

The situation appears to be escalating as a column of Afghani tanks rolled towards the battlefield at the border with Pakistan.

Violence between the two neighbours has flared since explosions in Afghanistan last week, including two in the capital Kabul, that were blamed on Pakistan.

The Afghan Taliban government launched an offensive along parts of its southern border in retaliation, prompting Islamabad to vow a strong response of its own.
