Afghan-Pakistan truce strained after university strike

Afghanistan’s Taliban authorities reported that Pakistani mortars and missiles struck the city of Asadabad in Kunar province on Monday, resulting in at least seven deaths and over 80 injuries, including 30 students and professors at Sayed Jamaluddin Afghani University. Pakistan’s Ministry of Information denied the claims, labeling them a “blatant lie.” The incident has raised concerns over a fragile ceasefire amid ongoing border tensions, as both countries exchanged fire despite recent peace talks in Urumqi, China.
