Afghanistan and Pakistan Trade Blame After Deadly Cross-Border Attacks

Tensions between Afghanistan and Pakistan have escalated following two recent attacks linked to Afghan nationals. The incidents—one near the House of Representatives and another in Tajikistan—have sparked accusations from both sides. The Taliban has strongly denied involvement, instead pointing fingers at Pakistan’s intelligence agency.

The first attack took place when an Afghan national targeted National Guard soldiers near the White House in Washington, DC. Shortly after, a drone strike from Afghanistan killed three Chinese workers at a gold mine in Tajikistan.

The dispute highlights deepening mistrust between the two nations. Afghanistan denies any role in the attacks, while Pakistan continues to push its narrative of Afghan-sponsored terrorism. The situation remains volatile, with both sides trading accusations and no clear resolution in sight.
