Pakistani forces allegedly fired projectiles into Afghanistan on Thursday evening, violating a ceasefire agreement while delegations from both nations met in Turkey for peace negotiations. An Afghan military official confirmed Pakistan used light and heavy weapons targeting civilian areas, but Afghanistan refrained from retaliating to respect ongoing talks. The ceasefire, mediated by Qatar in Doha, followed weeks of border skirmishes along the Durand Line last month. Relations between the neighbors have deteriorated significantly, with Pakistan accusing Kabul of sheltering militant groups conducting attacks on Pakistani soil, claims the Taliban government denies. Conversely, Afghanistan alleges Pakistan harbors Islamic State affiliates responsible for attacks within Afghan territory. The Thursday talks aim to stabilize the fragile ceasefire and prevent hostilities from resuming. (PC: JK News Today & NDTV)
