Khost security department official confirmed the incident

 

Local authorities in Kunar have yet to comment on the matter, but a spokesman for the Khost Security Department confirmed the incident, though he did not give details of civilian casualties.

Durand Line is the root of controversies?

 

Since the arrival of the Taliban in Kabul, the tension between Pakistan and Afghanistan has increased over the border. Experts believe that there are differences between the two sides regarding the border. According to local media reports, Taliban and Pakistani troops are on high alert along the Durand Line in southwestern Afghanistan's Nimroz province after a Pakistani military helicopter was shot down recently.

 

People watching Pakistan and Afghanistan say that the Taliban is very firm about the Durand Line. In such a situation, both the parties should resolve the issue through dialogue and the dispute should not be allowed to progress further.
