Border clashes spike as Pakistan reports heavy Afghan casualties along frontier
Fighting along the Pakistan–Afghanistan border intensified for a fifth day, with Islamabad claiming Afghan forces killed 67 troops and one Pakistani soldier and Kabul disputing the tally; both sides released casualty figures, and the U.N. warned civilians are paying the price as the Qatar- and Turkey-brokered ceasefire collapses. Pakistan says it will continue operations until Afghan authorities curb militant groups like the TTP, while Afghanistan accuses Pakistan of airspace violations and targeting civilians.
