Taliban pauses military response during Doha talks
The Taliban will not respond to the recent Pakistani airstrikes during the ongoing talks in Doha, the group's spokesperson, Zabihullah Mujahid, announced on Saturday.
Pakistan and Afghanistan agreed, on October 17, to a temporary truce during emergency talks, where delegations gathered to de-escalate tensions, News.Az reports citing foreign media.
In a post on X, Mujahid said a high-level delegation of the Islamic Emirate, led by Defense Minister Mawlawi Mohammad Yaqoob Mujahid, departed for Doha earlier to attend negotiations with Pakistan.
He accused Islamabad of carrying out overnight airstrikes on civilian areas in Afghanistan’s Paktika province, which he said caused multiple deaths and injuries, describing the attacks as deliberate provocations aimed at prolonging the conflict.
