Peace talks between Pakistan and Afghanistan in Istanbul ended abruptly after disagreements over US drone strikes launched from Pakistani territory. The Taliban delegation accused Islamabad of enabling American drones to violate Afghan airspace, while Pakistan claimed limited control over such operations. Despite mediation efforts by Turkey and Qatar, the dialogue failed to resume. The breakdown marks a major diplomatic setback, heightening regional tensions and fears of renewed border clashes. Analysts warn the fallout could undermine counterterrorism cooperation and regional peace efforts. (PC: NDTV)
