Pakistani air strikes hit at least 22 Afghan military targets, its military spokesperson said on Friday, after heavy fighting between the South Asian neighbours that began overnight.

At least 12 Pakistani soldiers were killed and 274 Taliban officials and militants were killed since Thursday night, military spokesperson Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry told reporters.

The Taliban, which denies sponsoring militant attacks on Pakistan, made similar accusations against its neighbour saying it had launched what it described as retaliatory attacks on Pakistani military installations on Thursday, but was ready to negotiate.

"The morale of the (Afghani) fighters was very strong. They fought very well and inflicted heavy losses on the enemy," a Taliban border soldier, Amir Mohammad, said.
