Pakistan has rejected Afghanistan’s request for a ceasefire following a series of cross-border firing incidents originating from Afghan posts. According to official sources, the Pakistan Army continues to carry out targeted operations along the frontier, focusing on militant positions allegedly responsible for attacks on Pakistani territory.
Security officials stated that the operations are defensive in nature, aimed at protecting Pakistan’s borders and maintaining regional stability. They emphasized that any aggression or support for armed groups would be met with a decisive and proportional response.
The escalating situation has sparked concern over rising tensions between the two neighboring countries, which already share a history of complex border disputes and security challenges.
Pakistan maintains that peace and dialogue can only succeed once cross-border terrorism completely ceases, dismissing Afghanistan’s calls for tolerance and communication until concrete measures are taken against militant networks operating near the border.
This development marks another difficult chapter in Pakistan-Afghanistan relations, underscoring the urgent need for regional cooperation and counter-terrorism coordination to prevent further escalation.
