Tensions rose between Afghanistan and Pakistan after the Taliban accused Pakistan of carrying out cross-border attacks in Kunar province, killing four people and injuring many. The strikes reportedly hit civilian areas, including homes and a university in Asadabad. Pakistan denied the claims, calling them false and saying any military action would be clearly announced. Officials also reported injuries on their side due to gunfire. The incident comes during fragile peace talks following a recent ceasefire. Ongoing clashes and mutual accusations continue to strain relations, raising concerns over stability along the border region.
