Fresh clashes erupted on Wednesday along the Pakistan–Afghanistan border, leaving at least 15 Afghan civilians dead, according to Afghan officials, and around 20 Taliban fighters killed, according to Pakistan’s military. The fighting in Afghanistan’s Spin Boldak district and Pakistan’s Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province marked the second major confrontation this week, following deadly weekend exchanges. The Taliban accused Pakistani forces of launching new cross-border attacks, while Pakistan’s army claimed to have destroyed Taliban positions. Violence has intensified since blasts in Kabul last week, which the Taliban blamed on Pakistani airstrikes. Despite appeals for restraint from Saudi Arabia, Qatar, China, and the US, tensions remained high along the frontier.
