Pakistan Rejects Afghan Taliban Allegations Amid Border Tensions

Pakistan's Foreign Office has strongly refuted Afghan Taliban allegations of civilian casualties during its counter-terrorism operations, asserting its right to self-defense. The FO accused the Afghan regime of actively sheltering terrorist groups like TTP and BLA, which have launched attacks from Afghan soil, causing over 3500 casualties in Pakistan in 2026 alone. Pakistan emphasized its actions are proportionate and directed solely at terrorists and their bases. Heightened geopolitical tensions could increase local safe-haven demand for gold and potentially put pressure on the Pakistani Rupee.
