Border Clashes Erupt Between Afghanistan and Pakistan, Two Civilians Killed
•Renewed clashes broke out along the Afghanistan-Pakistan border after a temporary Eid al-Fitr ceasefire ended, killing two civilians and wounding eight in eastern Afghanistan.
•Pakistani forces reportedly fired dozens of artillery shells into Afghanistan's Kunar province, targeting Narai and Sarkano districts.
•The violence follows a brief halt in hostilities, mediated by Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and Qatar, after Pakistani airstrikes in Afghanistan.
•Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) resumed attacks inside Pakistan after its own Eid ceasefire, intensifying cross-border militant activity.
•The conflict is fueled by Pakistan's concerns over TTP operating from Afghan sanctuaries and Afghanistan's non-recognition of the Durand Line as an international border.
