Afghanistan Accuses Pakistan of Killing Three Civilians in Fresh Border Incident

Afghanistan accused Pakistan of killing three civilians in another cross-border strike, describing the incident as a fresh 'war crime' and the latest test of the fragile China-brokered ceasefire declared in March 2026. Pakistan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a formal denial. The incident represented the third significant ceasefire violation claim since late April, with prior incidents involving South Waziristan on April 27 and the Kunar university controversy on April 28. Analysts noted that without a robust verification mechanism or neutral observers, each incident risks further eroding the truce.
