Tensions between Pakistan and Afghanistan are rising again, with reports of shelling in Khost that killed four civilians and accusations of cross-border attacks along the disputed Durand Line.
A video of burning aircraft wreckage is being shared as proof of a Pakistani jet downed by Afghanistan. Verification checks point to much older footage from the United States.
Both countries accuse each other of deadly strikes and territorial violations, with leaders issuing strong statements as tensions along the Durand Line reach a dangerous new high.
Afghanistan and Pakistan exchanged sharp claims of heavy losses and captured posts after overnight operations across multiple border districts, deepening tensions along the unrecognised Durand Line frontier.
The Pakistan foreign minister asserted that Islamabad will continue to play a facilitative role to bring political settlement in the war-torn neighboring country.
