Tension has once again increased on the border between Pakistan and Afghanistan. There has been heavy firing between the two countries on the Chaman border. Afghan officials said that four civilians have been killed in heavy firing from Pakistan.

According to the report of Al Jazeera, the Governor of Spin Boldak district of Afghanistan has also confirmed these deaths on Saturday (December 5, 2025). At the same time, there is information about the injured being brought to the district hospitals of Pakistan. However, Pakistan said that no one was killed in the firing.

Both sides are accusing each other of attacking first

Officials from both sides accused each other of firing on the border with Balochistan province on Friday (December 5, 2025). According to the report of Pakistani newspaper Dawn, Pakistani officials said that Afghan forces had fired mortars in Badani area. While Afghan Taliban spokesperson Zabihullah Mujahid alleged that the attack on Spin Boldak was carried out by Pakistan. He claimed that his forces retaliated. Official sources in Pakistan told Dawn that Pakistani forces opened fire in response to the Afghan attack. Apart from this, there are reports of firing on Chaman-Kandahar highway, but these have not been confirmed yet.

A senior Quetta official, on condition of anonymity, confirmed that the firing started around 10 pm and continued till late night. Medical Superintendent of Chaman District Hospital said that three injured people including a woman have been brought to the hospital. Whereas no official statement has been issued by the Pakistan Army’s media wing ISPR or the Foreign Office in this regard.

Tension continued between the two countries last month also

Chaman Border is also known as Friendship Gate. It connects Balochistan province to Kandahar in Afghanistan. The two countries agreed to a ceasefire agreement following tensions last month, but Pakistan’s Foreign Office said last month that technically no ceasefire agreement is in force as it depends on the Afghan Taliban stopping terrorist attacks in Pakistan and it has failed to do so.

There was firing again on Chaman border between the armies of Pakistan and Afghanistan on Thursday (6 November 2025). Afghan media has claimed that apart from firing on the Afghan army, the Pakistani army also fired mortars. This clash is taking place at a time when representatives of both the countries are holding the third round of talks in Turkey.

PAK fired mortar as soon as peace talks started

As soon as peace talks between the two countries started in Turkey, the Pakistani Army violated the ceasefire. Chaman border crossing connects Spin Boldak to Kandahar province of Afghanistan. In Lukman village here, the Pakistani Army has violated the ceasefire and started firing on the military bases of Afghanistan. Apart from attacking the Afghan army, the Pakistani army has also targeted a shopping complex located in the village, after which a stampede-like situation was created in the entire area.

Pakistan also targeted residential areas

The armies of both the countries fired indiscriminately at each other. After the first round of talks between the two countries in Doha on October 19, an agreement was reached on ceasefire. After this, in the second round of talks, it was agreed to extend the ceasefire till 6 November. Now, as soon as the third round of talks started, the Pakistani Army violated the ceasefire and again attacked the Afghan army and residential areas.

The differences between the two delegations over cross-border terrorist activities remained so intense that the second round of talks ended without any progress. Pakistan repeatedly accused the Taliban regime of supporting the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) group and sought written guarantees from Afghanistan that it would prevent such groups from operating on Afghan soil.
