The latest development comes after months of clashes between the two neighbours. Fighting has claimed hundreds of lives since late February, when Afghanistan launched a cross-border strike into Pakistan, describing it as retaliation for earlier Pakistani airstrikes inside Afghan territory.

Why are Pakistan and Afghanistan clashing?

Pakistan-Afghanistan border tensions have escalated since February, with both sides carrying out retaliatory strikes. Islamabad has repeatedly alleged that Afghanistan provides shelter to militants responsible for attacks inside Pakistan, particularly the Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP).

While the group operates separately from the Afghan Taliban, it is considered an ally of the movement that returned to power in Afghanistan in 2021 following the withdrawal of US-led forces.

Kabul has consistently rejected Pakistan’s accusations.
