Taliban, Pakistan clash again in border region

NHK | English | News | Oct. 17, 2025 | Geopolitical Conflict and Disputes

Tensions escalated on the Afghanistan-Pakistan border, with a clash reported on Wednesday in the southern Kandahar province. The Taliban's interim government stated that Pakistani forces launched an attack resulting in more than 10 deaths, including 12 civilians killed and over 100 injured.

The Taliban also claimed that Pakistani soldiers died in the confrontation and that they captured multiple posts and centers. Pakistan's military reported that 15 to 20 Taliban fighters were killed in the incident.

These recent hostilities follow intense clashes over the past weekend, with both sides accusing each other of aggression. Pakistan accuses extremist groups of crossing into its territory to conduct terrorist attacks since the Taliban took control of Afghanistan four years prior.
