Afghanistan Pakistan border tension: Bullets fired between Pakistan and Afghanistan at midnight, people forced to leave their homes

Afghanistan Pakistan border tension: Once again the atmosphere on the border of Pakistan and Afghanistan has become very tense. Late on Friday night, heavy firing started on the border of both the countries, due to which panic spread among the people living there. All this happened when the peace talks held just a few days ago ended without any result. Now both the countries are accusing each other of starting firing. The situation has become so bad that people living on both sides of the Durand Line are leaving their homes and running towards safe places. It is fortunate that there has been no news of anyone being killed so far. What happened after all? The Taliban government of Afghanistan says that Pakistani army attacked in Spin Boldak area of ​​Kandahar. At the same time, Pakistan says that the Afghan army opened fire on the Chaman border without any provocation. Within no time, the small skirmish took a big form and heavy weapons started being used by both the sides. An Afghan Border Police officer claimed that it was initiated by Pakistan, after which the Afghan Army had to take major action. At the same time, in some Afghan media reports, it has also been said that the Pakistani Army has retreated leaving more than 20 of its posts. Why has the situation worsened? Local people say that the Pakistani Army fired rockets at the homes of common people, due to which there was chaos there. It is being said that when the Afghan army was maintaining peace, Pakistani soldiers threw a grenade, after which there was retaliatory action from Afghanistan. It is being said that Pakistan will suffer huge loss in this action. The firing was so intense that people kept hearing the sounds of bullets and explosions throughout the night, due to which many families got scared and evacuated their villages overnight. What is the root of this dispute? This is not a new dispute. There has been a dispute between Pakistan and Afghanistan regarding the Durand Line for years. Afghanistan does not consider this line as an international border, because this line has divided the Pashtun population between the two countries. This is the reason why there is often an atmosphere of tension here. Pakistan also alleges that extremist groups use the land of Afghanistan to carry out attacks in its areas like Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Balochistan. However, the Taliban has always rejected these allegations and says that Pakistan should focus on its internal security problems. Some time ago, peace talks were also held in Saudi Arabia, but it yielded no results. Now once again, this firing has soured the relations between the two neighboring countries.
