Afghanistan-Pakistan Border Clashes Resume, Two Civilians Killed After Ceasefire Ends
•Border clashes between Afghanistan and Pakistan resumed on Wednesday after a temporary ceasefire expired, resulting in two civilian deaths and multiple injuries in eastern Afghanistan.
•Afghan Taliban officials reported Pakistani forces fired artillery shells into Kunar province, killing two civilians and wounding eight.
•Afghan border forces retaliated, claiming to have destroyed three Pakistani military posts and killed one person; these claims are unverified.
•The renewed violence follows a brief truce for Eid al-Fitr and comes after Pakistani airstrikes in Afghanistan, which Kabul claimed hit a hospital, killing over 400.
•The Pakistani Taliban (TTP) also resumed attacks inside Pakistan after their own Eid ceasefire, with Pakistan accusing Kabul of sheltering TTP leaders.
