Summary

A mortar round struck a residence in the border market village of Angoor Adda, South Waziristan, killing one person and injuring five. Pakistani officials say Afghan Taliban forces fired the mortars and small arms at civilians, and that Pakistani forces responded by demolishing seven Taliban positions. The Afghan Taliban deny starting the clash and say Pakistani drones struck targets in Paktika province; accounts of who fired first conflict and remain unconfirmed by the other side. Officials say the mortar landed on a home, but the cause of the strike is disputed. The Angoor Adda crossing has been closed since October 2025, and both sides accuse each other of 'unprovoked' attacks. Relations remain strained, with mediation by China, Turkey and Qatar reported as unsuccessful.
