Pakistan troops are seen at a funeral in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province for a colleague who was killed in border clashes with Afghanistan AFP Pakistani and Afghan officials began talks in Qatar on Saturday to defuse tensions, a senior Taliban official said, after at least 10 Afghanis were killed in Pakistani airstrikes following a brief truce. Kabul had accused Islamabad of violating a 48-hour ceasefire, which briefly put a stop to nearly a week of cross-border clashes that killed dozens of troops and civilians on both sides. Security sources in Islamabad said the latest strikes targeted a militant group linked to the Pakistani Taliban in the Afghan border areas, in retaliation for an attack on Pakistani paramilitary troops.
