Afghanistan–Pakistan border clash escalates anew
Fresh artillery and drone exchanges erupt along the Afghanistan–Pakistan border, raising fears of widening war and regional instability.
On March 25, 2026, renewed heavy artillery fire and drone strikes were reported along the Afghanistan–Pakistan border, marking a sharp escalation in the ongoing conflict between Pakistani forces and the Taliban-led Afghan government. Both sides accuse each other of initiating the latest round of cross‑border attacks, with Afghan officials reporting casualties near Khost and Pakistani military sources citing damage to frontier posts in the North Waziristan sector. Regional leaders and the United Nations have urgently called for restraint, warning that continued clashes could destabilize trade routes and trigger a broader humanitarian crisis in the region.
