"The Taliban's Deputy Spokesperson Hamdullah Fitrat stated that the Pakistani military had launched mortar and rocket attacks that wounded 45 people, including students, women, and children, as homes and the Sayed Jamaluddin Afghani University came under fire."
"We strongly condemn these attacks by the Pakistani military regime, in which ordinary people, academic, and educational institutions were targeted, and declare them unforgivable war crimes, the spokesman wrote on social media."
"Pakistan's Information Ministry dismissed the report as a blatant lie and insisted that there had been no attack on the university, highlighting the ongoing tensions and conflicting narratives between the two countries."
"The strikes marked the first major attack since the pair had agreed to halt the violence at peace talks last month, mediated by China, indicating the fragility of the ceasefire."
Recent cross-border attacks between Pakistan and Afghanistan have resulted in casualties, undermining fragile peace talks. The Taliban reported four deaths in Kunar province, while Pakistan reported injuries in South Waziristan. The Taliban condemned the Pakistani military's actions as war crimes, while Pakistan dismissed these claims. The violence marks the first major incident since a ceasefire was agreed upon, with multiple countries attempting to mediate the conflict. Security concerns, particularly regarding the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan, remain a significant issue in relations between the two nations.
