Pakistan and Afghan officials convened in Qatar on Saturday following a day of heightened tensions. Following a series of clashes and airstrikes, Pakistan launched air strikes targeting a suspected militant group believed to be affiliated with the Pakistani Taliban in Afghan border regions. The strikes were conducted following a previous ceasefire agreement aimed at stabilizing the border zone. The operation resulted in the death of at least ten individuals in Afghanistan and disrupted the peace process. The incident highlighted ongoing concerns regarding cross-border security and potential escalation. The negotiations are focused on de-escalation and addressing the root causes of the conflict.
