Negotiations for peace between the Taliban and Pakistan have faltered

In attacks by terrorists, five Pakistani soldiers were killed

Islamabad (Pakistan) – Pakistan army on Sunday said that five of its soldiers and 25 militants were killed during border clashes with Afghanistan. These attacks occurred while Afghan and Pakistani officials met in Istanbul amid a recent ceasefire agreement.

“These assaults occur while Afghan and Pakistani officials meet in Istanbul amid a recent ceasefire agreement. The earlier confrontations between their forces this month represented the most intense border violence since the Taliban took control in 2021”,  the Pakistani military’s media wing, ISPR said in a post on X.

It is clear that no decision could be reached through these discussions. Therefore, the conflict is likely to continue. Pakistan’s Defence Minister Khawaja Asif had earlier made it clear: “If a peace deal is not concluded, Pakistan will wage open war.”
