The strikes destroyed an ammunition depot and a drone storage facility in Jalalabad, the sources said.
Pakistani security forces repelled multiple cross-border attacks in the southwest Balochistan and northwest Khyber Pakhtunkhwa provinces overnight, killing at least 67 Afghan militants, Pakistan's Federal Minister for Information and Broadcasting Attaullah Tarar said on Tuesday.
Separately, the Pakistan Air Force struck the Bagram air base during an operation early on Sunday, security officials confirmed on Tuesday.
