Taliban and Pakistani forces have traded fire across the Afghan border, with Taliban officials saying their forces captured three Pakistani military outposts. The Taliban said the attack represents a retaliation for what it calls a violation of its sovereignty on Thursday with airstrikes on the capital Kabul. Pakistan has long accused Afghanistan of harboring armed groups that carry out attacks inside its territory. Islamabad also said its forces destroyed Taliban outposts. Afghanistan's foreign minister on Friday said relations with his country must go through diplomatic channels. Al Jazeera’s Kamal Hyder has the latest in Islamabad, Pakistan.
