Countries and international organisations have expressed concern following the eruption of clashes between Pakistan and Afghanistan, raising fears of further instability in the region.
Reports indicate that the fighting involved cross-border shelling and armed exchanges along the frontier, resulting in casualties and forcing some residents to flee their homes.
The United Nations called on both sides to exercise restraint and return to dialogue to prevent further escalation. Neighboring countries and major global powers also urged an immediate ceasefire and efforts to maintain regional stability.
Security analysts have warned that the situation could deteriorate quickly if diplomatic measures are not taken, particularly given the already fragile security environment in the region.
Diplomatic efforts are expected to continue in an attempt to contain the conflict and prevent it from spreading further.
