The Pakistani government has blamed Afghanistan for a lethal attack over the weekend that claimed the lives of 15 police officers. Tension between the two countries escalates, both of whom have experienced military clashes over militant activity.

According to a statement from Pakistan's foreign ministry, the attack in the country's northwest involved a car bombing and an ambush and was orchestrated by terrorists residing in Afghanistan. The accusation is based on collected evidence and technical intelligence.

While Afghanistan's Taliban government remains silent, Islamabad summons an Afghan diplomat, issuing a stern message against harboring militants. Growing incidents risk renewed conflict along the border, where past engagements have led to military action.
