Peace negotiations between Pakistan and Afghanistan in Istanbul collapsed after renewed border violence left four Afghan civilians dead and several injured. Pakistan accused the Taliban government of sheltering militants responsible for cross-border attacks, while Kabul rejected the claims and called Islamabad’s stance unreasonable. Despite Qatar’s mediation and a fragile cease-fire still in place, both sides failed to reach common ground. The breakdown deepens regional tensions and raises fears of further military escalation along the volatile frontier between the two neighbouring nations. (PC: AP)
