Tensions have escalated between Pakistan and Afghanistan following a series of cross-border attacks and retaliatory strikes. Afghan Taliban forces killed a Pakistani army officer and two soldiers in the Kurram tribal district in retaliation for Pakistan's airstrikes in Afghanistan, as informed by Kurram District Police Officer Mazhar Jahan. These airstrikes, part of Pakistan's stance against incursions, were highlighted under #PakistanStrikesinAfghanistan. The Taliban have published videos and images showing their fighters and equipment being moved to the Pakistan border, indicating preparation for further confrontations. Clashes have been reported along the Durand Line, with both sides suffering casualties. The situation has also affected neighboring Iran, with Iranian border guard Mohammad Jawad Bayanati fatally shot at the Iran-Afghanistan border, highlighting the regional implications of the conflict. Amidst this, the Islamic State Khorasan Province (ISKP) has condemned Pakistan's airstrikes and threatened revenge, adding another layer of complexity to the already volatile situation. The international community, including the US, has urged restraint and called for measures to prevent further escalation. The Islamic Emirate rocket launcher battalions were deployed with full equipment at the border zero point, and new clashes have started in Barmal, Paktika. A Taliban fighter from the Badri Suicide Squad has threatened to carry out a suicide attack in Pakistan if a war erupts.
