Clashes along the Durand Line have sharply escalated after Taliban forces launched coordinated assaults on Pakistani border posts, triggering heavy exchanges of fire and rising casualties. Kabul says the attacks retaliate for recent Pakistani airstrikes in Nangarhar and Paktia, while Islamabad maintains it targeted militant hideouts threatening its security.
Reports describe overnight gunfights, shelling, and the temporary abandonment of some Pakistani positions as fighting spread across the disputed frontier. The confrontation has intensified fears of a broader conflict between Afghanistan and Pakistan, raising regional security concerns and highlighting long-standing tensions over the border’s legitimacy, cross-border militancy, and fragile diplomatic relations.
