Four Killed, 70 Hurt As Taliban Blames Pak Strikes, Peace Hopes Shaken
Fresh clashes have erupted between Pakistan and Afghanistan after the Taliban alleged that Pakistani forces carried out cross-border shelling in Kunar province, leaving four people dead and nearly 70 injured. The attack reportedly struck residential areas and Syed Jamaluddin Afghani University in Asadabad, with several women, children and students among the wounded. Taliban officials strongly condemned the incident, calling it a grave violation and a war crime. Pakistan has rejected the claims, terming them baseless propaganda and maintaining that any operations are aimed strictly at militant targets. The escalation comes despite ongoing peace efforts, raising fears of renewed instability along the already volatile border region.
