Fighting has flared up again on the Afghanistan–Pakistan border.

Assalamu alaykum. Early on Wednesday, fighting broke out again in areas along the border between Pakistan and Afghanistan. According to the press secretary of the Taliban movement, Zabiullah Mujahid, "early in the morning Pakistani armed forces carried out an attack," as a result of which more than 12 civilians were killed and over 100 were injured. He also claims that Taliban fighters inflicted significant losses on the enemy, captured posts, weapons and armored vehicles, and put most of the military infrastructure out of action. Pakistan denies these claims. According to its information, only four civilians were harmed, and the attack was allegedly carried out by forces from Afghanistan. A representative of the Chaman district administration, Habibullah Bangulzai, said that Taliban fighters allegedly attacked a Pakistani post near Chaman, and the Pakistani army repelled the attack after several hours of fighting. The border between the countries stretches about 2,600 km. Against the backdrop of the escalation several border posts were temporarily closed, which paralyzed trade: trucks carrying goods piled up on roads in both countries. Economically, Afghanistan largely depends on supplies through Pakistan. The first wave of violence began on September 11 and coincided with the visit of Afghanistan’s foreign minister, Amir Khan Muttaqi, to India. The escalation caused concern among regional powers. China and Russia called on the parties to exercise restraint, while Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the US offered to mediate for a peaceful settlement. We pray for the dead and the wounded, inshallah, that the parties quickly find a way to dialogue and peace.
