Violence has once again erupted between Pakistan and Afghanistan. 5 Pakistani soldiers and 25 terrorists have been killed in the latest attacks near the Afghan border. This clash took place at a time when delegations from both the countries were holding peace talks in Istanbul to reduce tension.

Attempt to infiltrate from across the border
The Pakistani Army claimed that on Friday and Saturday, terrorist groups from Afghanistan tried to enter the Pakistani border. The infiltration took place in the Kurram and North Waziristan districts of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, which are extremely difficult mountainous areas and have long been considered the center of terrorist activities.

Pakistani army expressed displeasure
Pakistan’s military media wing told Reuters that ‘questions are now being raised on the intentions of the Afghan government whether it is serious about stopping terrorism from its soil or not.’ The army said that recent incidents have ‘damaged the trust between the two countries’.

Warning of ‘open war’
A day before this, Pakistan’s Defense Minister Khawaja Asif had said that ‘if there is no agreement in the Istanbul talks, it could turn into open war.’ He expressed hope that Afghanistan wants peace, but recent events have made the situation tense again.

No response came from Taliban
The Afghan Taliban government has not yet given any official response to Pakistan’s allegations. However, in earlier statements the Taliban had said that ‘Pakistan’s attacks are a violation of Afghan sovereignty’ and rejected allegations of harboring terrorists.

The worst clash after 2021
This is being said to be the biggest conflict on the Pak-Afghan border after the return of Taliban to power in 2021. Many civilians have also died in the clashes. The conflict started with the blasts in Kabul, which the Taliban government blamed on Pakistan. In response, Pakistan carried out air strikes across the border.

This entire controversy came to light at a time when a Taliban delegation was on a visit to India. Experts say that this situation is not only a threat to the security of South Asia, but can also affect India’s diplomatic strategy, because Pakistan is now trying to increase pressure on Taliban.

There has been news of firing again between Pakistan and Afghanistan. Pakistan released thermal footage of the attack on a Taliban military post on Tuesday (October 14, 2025) at around 7:47 pm (IST). Apart from this, according to reports, fighting has also been reported on the Khosht-Miranshah border.

Clash between Pakistan and Afghanistan still continues
Khost province governor’s spokesman Mustaghfar Gurbaz told TOLOnews that at around 7 pm on Tuesday evening (October 14), Afghan forces once again attacked Pakistani troops in the Palochi area of ​​Jazi Maidan district near the Durand Line. He told that initially Pakistani soldiers had tried to attack, but their attempt failed and swift retaliatory action was taken from the Afghan side. He also told that the clash between the two sides is still going on.

Afghan Taliban attacked Pak post
The Afghan Taliban regime has released a video on state TV in which their fighters are seen attacking a Pakistani military post near the Durand Line. In the video, Taliban fighters are seen capturing the post and capturing many Pakistani soldiers during the clash. It is being told that these clashes have taken place in recent times amid increasing tension between the two countries.

Fazlur Rehman offered mediation
Meanwhile, Pakistan’s Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam (JUI-F) chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman has given a statement that he is ready to mediate for peace talks between Pakistan and Afghanistan, but for this it is necessary to have a ceasefire first. He said that any talks amid the sound of gunfire would remain inconclusive. Fazlur Rehman stressed that both the countries are very important for each other, but if continuous firing continues on the border, the people of both the countries will have to bear the biggest loss.

Heavy tension was seen between Afghanistan and Pakistan on Saturday (11 October). Many soldiers died in the airstrike between the two countries. After some time, ceasefire was implemented between the two countries, but Pakistan again violated the ceasefire after about 12 hours on Sunday (12 October). According to Afghan media, Pakistani Army conducted drone strike at Spin Boldak Border, Kandahar. Afghan officials have called this attack a violation of border sovereignty.

According to Afghan media reports, one Afghan civilian was killed and five people were injured in a drone strike by Pakistani Army at Spin Boldak Border, Kandahar. Local people are in fear and panic. However, complete confirmation and detailed information about the incident is yet to come.

What did the spokesperson of Afghanistan’s Defense Ministry say?

Afghanistan’s Defense Ministry spokesperson said that after last night’s clashes, both sides had tried to stop the conflict for some time, but Pakistan did not follow it. He warned that if Pakistan violates the Afghan border again, the Afghan security forces are fully prepared to give a strong response.

Zabiullah Mujahid told in a press conference in Kabul that 58 Pakistani soldiers were killed and 30 were injured in the clash between Afghan security forces and Pakistani army last night (October 11). According to Afghan officials, about 20 of their members were also martyred or injured. Afghan forces also captured many weapons in this operation.

Mujahid seriously accused the Pakistani army and government of training ISKP (Islamic State-Khorasan Province) terrorists and giving them shelter in their country. He said that these terrorists are sent to Afghanistan after receiving training directly from the airports of Karachi and Islamabad. He also claimed that the terrorist attacks in Tehran and Moscow were also planned from these centers in Pakistan.

Mujahid has appealed to Pakistan that the key ISKP leaders and members who are hiding there should either be handed over to the Afghan authorities or deported from Pakistani soil. He warned that if this is not done, it could lead to serious and unexpected consequences. The Defense Ministry has also clearly said that if any party violates Afghanistan’s border again, the Afghan Armed Forces will protect the border with full preparation and will give a strong response.
