Afghan Taliban fighters patrol near the Afghanistan-Pakistan border in Spin Boldak
Fresh exchange of fire between Pakistani forces and Taliban fighters have killed dozens along the volatile Pakistan-Afghanistan border, intensifying the hostilities between the two former allies. Following a brief lull, clashes erupted overnight on Tuesday, with both sides accusing each other of starting the latest round of violence.
The ongoing hostilities, which started last week after Islamabad targeted Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) camps in Kabul, is the worst between the neighbours since the Taliban seized power in 2021.
