PESHAWAR, Pakistan—Pakistan’s airstrikes on eastern Afghanistan killed 46 people, a Taliban government official said Wednesday, raising fears of further straining the relations between the two neighbors.

Hamdullah Fitrat, the deputy spokesman for the Afghan government, said those killed in the strikes that targeted four locations in Barmal, a district in the province of Paktika, were refugees, adding that six others were also wounded.
