Part 10/13:
Meanwhile, the ongoing conflict along the Pakistan-Afghanistan border shows signs of de-escalation. After over a week of intense clashes, both nations have agreed to an immediate ceasefire, mediated by Qatar and Turkey. High-level talks in Doha resulted in commitments to halt hostilities, with both sides emphasizing efforts toward lasting peace.
The fighting originally erupted on October 10, after Afghanistan accused Pakistan of launching air strikes against Kabul, and Islamabad countered with cross-border attacks. Pakistan has long contended that Afghan territory is used by Pakistani Taliban militants, a charge dismissed by Kabul’s government.
