The Pakistan–Afghanistan conflict has intensified significantly, with reports of fierce battles erupting along the border as Afghan and Pakistani forces engage in heavy fighting. Afghan officials reported that since Thursday, Pakistan has launched air strikes targeting key cities, including Kabul and Kandahar, which have resulted in civilian casualties. Specifically, Afghan government spokesman Hamdullah Fitrat stated that Pakistani fire has killed 36 civilians across multiple provinces since the beginning of the recent escalation. In response, the Taliban has increased anti-aircraft fire against Pakistani aircraft, with Taliban spokesperson Zabihullah Mujahid confirming that fighting has escalated dramatically, particularly around the Torkham border crossing, a crucial gateway for Afghans returning from Pakistan.
