"More attacks in both countries despite peace efforts."
"Pakistan has been accused of launching air strikes that killed civilians in Afghanistan, a day after three Pakistani security personnel were killed in a bombing."
"Recent peace efforts and a temporary ceasefire have failed."
Cross-border violence between Pakistan and Afghanistan has increased despite recent peace initiatives and a temporary ceasefire. Accusations of Pakistani air strikes killing Afghan civilians followed a bombing that killed three Pakistani security personnel, prompting retaliatory dynamics. Drivers include militant group activity, use of border areas as sanctuaries, weak governance in contested regions, and politicized security responses. Failed ceasefires and stalled negotiations raise the risk of escalation, greater civilian casualties, displacement, strained bilateral relations, and regional instability. Continued violence undermines confidence-building measures and complicates prospects for a durable political settlement and humanitarian access.
