• Foreign Affairs calls Pak-Afghan border ‘the most worrisome flash point in South Asia today’

• Pakistani envoy to UN says cross-border terror has reached ‘intolerable’ levels; accuses Taliban of sheltering TTP, India of backing Afghan-based proxies

The US-based publication’s assessment comes amid a major escalation, and what it described as a surge in violence since the Taliban returned to power in Afghanistan in 2021.
