Pakistani attacks on the east Afghan province of Kunar have killed at least seven people and injured 75, among whom are students and a professor at Kunar University, multiple sources have told the BBC.
According to the Taliban government, 30 of the injured are university students.
Pakistan's information ministry denied attacking the university and residential areas, saying the reports were fake.
Reports of the Kunar attacks come several weeks after a Pakistani air strike on a drug rehabilitation centre in the Afghan capital Kabul which, according to the UN, is now known to have killed 269 people.
The Taliban say mortars and rockets were fired in the attack on Kunar province, while other sources told the BBC that jets and drones had been used.
An unnamed professor who was teaching at Kunar University told the BBC he had heard terrifying explosions across the university campus.
Matiullah Shahab, a freelance journalist and human rights activist in the town of Asadabad, told the BBC he had been a kilometre away from the attack on the university and had heard the sound of a bombardment at around 14:00 (09:30 GMT).

Violence in the house of peace ! Mad Moe simply got it wrong in too many ways to mention them all. While looking over all the mayhem from Islam over at the ReligionOfPeace.com I was surprised to see that Mozlems kill more of each other than infidels!
For once, no women were victimized.
I wonder what courses of study are offered at this Afghan “university”. The past century here in the US has seen many respected and some not so respected colleges become universities. So what is the defining difference between a college and a university? I doubt if the higher standards have been met in Afghanistan.
