Afghan Taliban Launch Retaliatory Attacks on Pakistani Border Posts Amid Rising Tensions

Tensions escalated along the Pakistan-Afghanistan border as Afghan Taliban forces launched large-scale retaliatory attacks on Pakistani military posts along the Durand Line, following Pakistani airstrikes targeting militant groups in eastern Afghanistan. Afghan officials claim to have captured multiple Pakistani outposts and inflicted casualties, while Pakistan reports responding to unprovoked Afghan fire and denies civilian casualties. Both sides accuse each other of provocations amid ongoing disputes over militant activity and border sovereignty, with no immediate ceasefire agreement.
