At least 40 people, including women and children, were reportedly killed and 170 others injured in air and artillery strikes in Spin Boldak, Afghan officials said, as funeral ceremonies were held for the victims. Pakistani security officials, meanwhile, claimed that security forces foiled a cross-border infiltration Thursday in the Mohmand district of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province near the Afghan border, and killed 45 - 50 militants. Officials added that several militants were injured as they attempted to cross the border and carry out terror attacks inside Pakistan. Pakistan has witnessed a resurgence in militant violence in recent years. Authorities in Islamabad accuse the Afghan administration of failing to stop members of the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) from using Afghan soil to stage attacks in Pakistan. Afghanistan denies the accusations and contends it remains committed to preventing its territory from being used for cross-border attacks. The neighboring nations have seen some of the deadliest fighting this month since 2021, when the Taliban took control of Kabul. The recent escalation began when Kabul accused Islamabad of violating its airspace last Thursday, leading to clashes on Saturday, which stopped after a mediation by Qatar and Saudi Arabia. But fighting renewed late Tuesday and continued Wednesday, until the ceasefire took effect. Diplomatic efforts are underway to defuse tensions, as Pakistani Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar spoke to Saudi Foreign Minister Faisal bin Farhan; the two discussed the regional situation and recent developments, according to the Pakistan Foreign Ministry. Dar also exchanged messages with Qatari Minister of State for Foreign Affairs M. Abdulaziz Al-Khulaifi late Wednesday on the regional situation.
