Pakistan would continue to remain engaged in the mediation process and hopes for a positive outcome for the next round of talks between Islamabad and the Taliban regime on 6th of next month. This was stated by Spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Ambassador Tahir Hussain Andrabi at his weekly media briefing in Islamabad today.

Dozens of fighters were killed in overnight border clashes between Pakistan and Afghanistan, both sides said on Sunday, in the most serious fighting between the neighbours since the Taliban came to power in Kabul.

Pakistani Taliban's deputy chief Amjad killed by army during infiltration attempt in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, highlighting ongoing security challenges.

While Pakistan's defence minister immediately blamed Indian interference, Afghan media reports reveal that a secret agreement allowing US drone operations from Pakistani soil was the real reason behind the deadlock.

The footage has reignited questions about Pakistan’s continued role as a breeding ground for extremist groups that spill violence across borders.

Pakistan has acknowledged allowing the US to operate drone strikes from its territory targeting militant groups in neighbouring Afghanistan. The shock.

As Pakistan continues to claim that the Taliban are acting at India’s behest, India has said that Pakistan is infuriated with Afghanistan exercising its sovereignty.
