In Afghanistan, the Taliban government says its forces killed dozens of Pakistani soldiers in border clashes over the weekend, in retaliation for airstrikes in Kabul and the bombing of a market in eastern Afghanistan last Thursday. The fighting has halted all trade and transit between the two countries, stranding hundreds of Afghan refugees.

Mohammad Nabi: “We are stranded here because of the war. People say there is fighting at the border. Children, women and the elderly here with us are sick. There is no water or food. We don’t have enough money to survive here for even a few days. They should resolve their issues through dialogue. In war, both countries lose. No one benefits.”
