India's diplomatic relations with the Taliban have shifted as the group now controls the Afghan Embassy in New Delhi, signaling a new regional reality. Meanwhile, Taliban spokesperson Zabihullah Mujahid denied Pakistan's accusations that Afghan territory is used by Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) militants for attacks, urging dialogue to resolve tensions. The Taliban emphasized they do not permit Afghan land to be used against other countries and called for evidence from Pakistan to address the issue collaboratively.
