Pakistan and Afghanistan exchanged heavy fire along their shared border on Friday, officials from both countries said.
Clashes broke out between Afghan and Pakistani forces at the Spin Boldak border crossing in southern Kandahar province, Afghan government spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid said.
"Unfortunately, this evening the Pakistani side once again launched attacks towards Afghanistan in the Spin Boldak district of Kandahar, prompting the Islamic Emirate forces to respond," Mujahid said on social media platform X.
The confrontation began after Pakistani forces launched a hand grenade, local media outlet TOLOnews quoted Afghan Border Police spokesperson Abedullah Farooqi as saying.
In the early hours of Saturday local time, Mosharraf Zaidi, Pakistani prime minister's spokesperson for foreign media, confirmed that intense clashes between Pakistan and Afghanistan erupted in the border area.
"A short while ago, the Afghan Taliban regime resorted to unprovoked firing along the Chaman border. An immediate, befitting and intense response has been given by our armed forces. Pakistan remains fully alert and committed to ensuring its territorial integrity and the safety our citizens," he said in a post on X.
Local sources said that both sides used light and heavy weapons during the conflict, and residents on both sides of the border area have begun evacuation from the conflict zone.
Since October of this year, multiple clashes have taken place along the Pakistan-Afghanistan border.
Mediated by Qatar and Türkiye, Pakistan and Afghanistan agreed to a ceasefire on October 19. Following this, several rounds of talks were held in Doha, Istanbul, and Riyadh to ensure the sustainability of the ceasefire, but no progress has been made.
