The tense situation at the Pakistan-Afghanistan border has entered its third day, drawing increased concern from the international community. Foreign governments are calling for urgent talks to prevent an escalating conflict.

Pakistan's recent military strikes in areas such as Kabul and Kandahar have raised fears of a long-standing conflict with Afghanistan’s Taliban forces. Islamabad alleges that Afghanistan harbors militants engaged in an insurgency against Pakistan, claims that the Taliban deny. With both countries experiencing significant casualties, the situation is delicate with serious implications for regional stability.

International players, including the European Union, Russia, and China, urge dialogue and de-escalation. The U.S. has stated its support for Pakistan's self-defense measures, while diplomatic discussions continue as both nations claim heavy losses on the battlefield. The situation remains critical as diplomatic efforts intensify to defuse tensions.
