Afghanistan Reports Killing 41 Insurgents Crossing from Pakistan in Nuristan
Afghanistan's Defence Ministry reported killing 41 insurgents and capturing 62 more who crossed from Pakistan into Nuristan province over three days, including Islamic State members. The ministry accused Pakistan of supporting these fighters and summoned Pakistan's charge d'affaires with a protest letter. Pakistan has not commented, and similar claims have been made by both sides without independent verification. Cross-border tensions and violence have increased, with the UN noting over 1,100 civilian casualties in Afghanistan this year due to such conflicts.
