Pakistan and Afghanistan have temporarily agreed to maintain a ceasefire following peace talks in Istanbul, yet tensions continue to escalate. The situation remains precarious, with both sides exchanging threats. Pakistan’s Defense Minister has warned that failure to resolve border clashes could lead to open conflict with the Taliban. Despite recent agreements to extend the truce, ongoing skirmishes have resulted in casualties on both sides, raising concerns over the stability of the ceasefire. Additionally, fears of militant activity within Afghanistan being supported by the Taliban have led to Pakistan urging its neighbor to take action against these groups. The future of peace talks appears uncertain as both nations navigate this complex situation, compounded by accusations and military clashes along their shared border.
