The death count in the bombardment by Pakistani military aircraft in Afghanistan's eastern Paktika province on Tuesday mounted to 46. The Taliban government said most of the victims were children and women.
It was not immediately clear whether anyone was killed in what the extremist group called a "retaliatory" move against Pakistani forces which had killed at least eight people including children in the Barmal district of Paktika and the Spera district of Khost.
The announcement came after Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian and his Pakistani counterpart Jalil Abbas Jilani held another round of telephone conversations on Monday.
The tit-for-tat strikes are the highest-profile cross-border intrusions in recent years and have raised alarm over wider instability in the Middle East since the war between Israel and Hamas erupted on October 7.
Pakistan carried out a retaliatory attack by hitting militant targets in Iran, a day after warning Tehran of "serious consequences" for an "unprovoked breach of airspace" in the latter's aerial attacks in Balochistan that killed two children.
