Pakistan Denies Afghan Allegations of Deadly University Strike Amid Ongoing Tensions
Tensions between Afghanistan and Pakistan have escalated following a recent incident where Afghan officials accused Pakistan of launching a cross-border attack that struck a university and civilian homes in north-eastern Afghanistan. The attack reportedly killed seven people and wounded at least 85, including women, children, and students at Sayed Jamaluddin Afghani University. Pakistan has denied these allegations, labeling them as 'frivolous and fake.' This incident marks the first major attack since peace talks mediated by China earlier this month, where both nations had agreed not to escalate their conflict. The ongoing conflict has resulted in significant casualties and displacement, with the UN reporting that 94,000 people have been displaced due to the violence.
