Pakistan has accused Afghanistan of allowing its territory to be used by the Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) to orchestrate attacks within Pakistan, including a plot to assassinate Chinese engineers. The allegations, articulated by the Director General of Inter Services Public Relations (DG ISPR) of the Pakistani armed forces, were met with strong denials from the Afghan Taliban's Ministry of Defense. Enayat Ullah Khwarzami, the spokesman for the Afghan Ministry, dismissed the claims as baseless and attributed the attack on Chinese citizens in Shangla to other failures, without specifying further details. This exchange has led to a notable shift in the Pakistani military's perception of the Afghan Taliban, now viewing them as active supporters of the TTP. In response, Pakistan has formally requested Afghanistan to take action against terrorist groups operating from its soil.
