Afghanistan accuses Pakistan of shelling outskirts of eastern city, killing and wounding civilians
Renewed clashes follow the end of a ceasefire as Afghanistan reports one death and 16 injured, mostly women and children, in border shelling by Pakistan.
- Afghanistan accused Pakistan's military of shelling rural homes near Asadabad in Kunar Province, killing one person and wounding 16 civilians, mostly women and children, using mortars and heavy weaponry according to Afghan deputy government spokesman Hamdullah Fitrat.
- The recent fighting between Afghanistan and Pakistan is the most severe in decades, escalating since late February with cross-border clashes, airstrikes, and a declaration by Pakistan of being in "open war" with Afghanistan last month.
- Afghanistan claims Pakistan airstrikes hit a drug treatment hospital in Kabul earlier this month, killing more than 400 people, though Pakistan denies this and says it struck an ammunition depot; the UN is still verifying the death toll.
- A temporary truce mediated by Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and Qatar expired earlier this week, and renewed fighting has caused civilian casualties, with peace talks held in Istanbul in November failing to reach a long-term solution.
