• 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.
