All border crossings between Pakistan and Afghanistan have remained closed for a fourth consecutive day following deadly clashes along their shared border. Tensions escalated over the weekend when Afghan forces attacked Pakistani military posts, leading to significant casualties on both sides and disrupting trade. Despite brief pauses in fighting after appeals from regional powers, hostilities resumed, with both countries blaming each other for the renewed violence. The situation has left hundreds of lorries stranded and no clear timeline for reopening the border as accusations and military actions continue.
