The Secretariat of the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO) is closely monitoring the situation at the border between Afghanistan and Pakistan. This was reported on the official website of the organization.
In a statement, it emphasizes that the CSTO seeks to establish peace and stability in this region, noting that the best approach to resolving the conflict is through political and diplomatic engagement.
Recently, information has emerged in Islamabad that Taliban fighters opened fire at the border with Pakistan, to which Pakistani security forces responded with appropriate actions.
In turn, the Afghan command announced retaliatory strikes on Pakistani territory in response to airstrikes carried out by Islamabad on February 22. According to Pakistani authorities, at least 70 militants were killed as a result of these attacks. However, Kabul denied this information, claiming that many civilians were among the dead, including women and children.
The length of the border between Afghanistan and Pakistan is 2,600 kilometers.
