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.

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.
