Four civilians were killed and four others injured in fresh clashes between Afghan and Pakistani forces near Afghanistan’s Spin Boldak district of Kandahar, Tolo News reported, citing local sources. According to Tolo News, the casualties occurred due to mortar attacks in the Afghan Maazal Gali and Luqman village areas, as clashes broke out on Friday evening. A woman and a man are among the wounded in critical condition and are currently receiving treatment at Aino Mina Hospital.
Afghanistan’s official spokesman, Zabihullah Mujahid, confirmed the attacks by Pakistani forces in a post on X, claiming that the Pakistani troops on the Afghan territory initiated the attacks. “Unfortunately, this evening the Pakistani side once again launched attacks towards Afghanistan in the Spin Boldak district of Kandahar, prompting the Islamic Emirate forces to respond,” Mujahid stated in his post on X on December 6(Saturday).

Tensions along the Afghanistan-Pakistan border have frequently escalated in recent months, with both sides accusing each other of violations along their border region. The fragile peace deal inked between Pakistan and Afghanistan brokered by Qatar and Turkey in the month of October also doesn’t stand anymore due to repeated violation and firing. The latest round of peace talks between Islamabad and Kabul hosted in Saudi Arabia also failed without any conclusive decision and the conflict further escalated.
The repeated attack and escalation by the Pakistan security forces across the Durand line shared with Afghanistan is a testament to the increasing atrocities of Pakistan throught its borders in all the directions. Be it with Afghanistan or India or internally in the region of Balochistan, the illicit political and military apparatus of Pakistan aims to attack the countries in its proximity with illicit motives, as a mask to shield its illegal activities such as state-sponsored terrorism and to divert the attention of the world from the internal issues the country which is hitherto entangled in disintegrated political ecosystem, spiking military dictatorship, fragile or poor socio-economic status, increasing atrocities on the minority communities etc.
